    "Si-marked" (?) Finnish Mosin Nagant

    Hey all,
    I have owned a few Finnishicon-marked (i.e. boxed SA) MN rifles, but came across one today with an Si mark. I cannot find anything about it online (but I get lots of hits with Mosin and Russia). I have posted pictures of the receiver markings, but you'll see the Si mark (S i 7103) on the lower left rear of receiver (rightmost picture). Anyone know what it means?

    Thanks,
    Chris

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Ah. Excellent question. That mark was put there by the importer and is the rifle serial number. The SI is the translation of the Russianicon letters. You can also see them above the serial number on the barrel. Good example of a Finn capture rifle.
