That would be something to find! I have a couple older guns, but nothing was in them!

That would be cool... Just FYI, if any one runs into that... The owner of the bar I go to is Romanian. The pizza delivery guy is Russian (Ukrainian), a few friends of mine are Polish. Some of the guys I work with are Czech, Dutch, Italian and French. I'm sure if I look hard I could find other languages too. BTW I speak fluent German.

Some more fun info it is 'Finnish'

http://www.seitengewehr.com/Fachzeit...39-ukko-pekka/

The Finnish army continued refurbishing and reissuing Mosin-Nagants well after its wars with the USSR were over. There are Finnish M1939 with barrels dating into the early 1970s, when they were issued as officer training rifles. Finland still issues the 7.62 TaK 85, a substantially modified and modernized sniper rifle built on the Mosin-Nagant action.
Models of Finnish Mosin-Nagant rifles were identified by numbers: M/91-M24 Lotta rifle, M27, M28 and M28-30 Pystykorva, and M39 Ukko-Pekka. It is worth noting that Finnish rifles M27, 28, 28-30, and 39 were issued with knife bayonets instead of the standard Soviet quadangular socket bayonet.
Finnish Mosin-Nagants are known for their accuracy and dependability. The famous Finnish sniper Simo Häyhä is widely considered to be the most successful in history and used the M28 Pystykorva rifle.

I am guessing that the documents are Finnish as well then. The Finnish and Romanian languages are similar.

I've never found anything like that in any of my Mosins. On the other hand, I only have eight of them and I'm not dead yet.

I would guess it is Romanian. There is no "ă" in the Finnish alphabet. There is however, an "ă" in the Romanian alphabet. You can see on one of the pieces of paper, an "Să" at the beginning of the last 3 paragraphs in the bottom piece in the first picture. Too bad they aren't more legible.
