Ok now I know a little bit about mausers but I'm not really up on the Swedes. How did two of my swedes end up in Finnish hands? I appreciate your time. thanks, geberl.

well during the finnish-russian war the swedes did let a few of there mausers slip over the border.

So the Swedes were helping out there nordic brothers through and unofficial lend-lease program without becoming directly involved with the war effort? Any added value or are they fairly common? I appreciate your time. geberl.

geberl,

You might not know it but under the butt plate should be a slip of paper with the name of the soldier the gun was issued to, the date and the infantry division he served in.
