    Hi Promo, that's a beautiful rifle, there are a fair few spelling errors in the writing on the scrap of paper, suggesting it was written by a non-native speaker of Russianicon, (which would make sense since it's an American rifle) roughly translated it basically says: "Greetings to the heroes of the Soviet army!" I'm guessing this example was sent as aid from the U.S to USSR during WW2.
