1941 Imperial TIKKA M91, Seriously? Why would the Finns bother to spin up a brand new M91 length barrel? What is this CTN DEUTSCH stamp about? Talk amongst yourselves.

Is that a Finish Army stamp on the receiver? Good looking rifle!

I'm no Finnish Mosin expert but expediency seems to be a key word when it comes to Mosin Nagants in Finnish service. They didn't throw anything away and harvested weapons wherever opportunity presented itself.

That is a cool rifle no doubt!

I wonder if the CTN Deutsch markings are some sort of German retailer stamp?....That just a guess

The receiver was likely purchased from one of any number of European countries, post-WWI. It was stamped by the Germans after capture. The Finns built it into a serviceable weapon for the Continuation War needs.

Thank you gentlemen. She's been handed around. Made in Imperial Russia, captures by zee Tsherminz and sold off to the Finns in the 1920's. Yes the barrel is SA marked. 'CTN DEUTSCH" is a German property mark.

So what does the "CTN" refer to then?
