martin08, am I correct in thinking that the 41 stamp was applied to all the Mosin Nagant rifles that Finlandicon obtained regardless of if they were captured directly from Russiaicon or purchased/given from Germanyicon or, indeed, from any other source? Is it known when the 41 stopped being stamped on rifles and was the marking applied to any other weapon or equipment that Finland obtained for it's armed forces? Thank-you for your help.
