Yes, mine is an SA marked Winter War or Continuation War capture. The crown was counterbored too (a but too deep for my tastes!) However I want it in WWI configuration for my WWI display.
Are you saying that the wire sling swivels are NOT the early Imperial Russiaicon configuration, but rather Finn upgrades? If so...BUMMER, as I passed on others with cleaning rod, bay and a NOT cracked stock just because of the sling swivels!!! :-(
Clearly I have musch to learn about the Mosin Nagant, M91 or later!

p.s., Ive got one left over when I double ordered slings for my M39. Its Finn...I think! Its leather and has got an unusual buckle with a recessed center bar (thats the best way I can describe it). I guess I COULD place this in my early WWII Finn collection since I dont have an M28 yet, but that means I need to acquire yet another M91! :-P

at is a good clear pic!
but that rifle has no sling swivels and the sling has the collars that feed thru the stock slots.
