Latest Imports

[capt14k]

Just sharing some of my latest imports.

Finnish High Powers below 12xxx serial which seems to be the Air Force Serial range. All matching, but all do have SA mark. Likely from when taken in by Army and went through rearsenal. Air Force High Powers are also found without additional Finnish stamps. LJ stamp, and both LJ and SA stamp.

Rifles pictured are "extras". Czech vz54 Sniper that has all the accessories, Hungarian 91/30s all matching including one with matching bayonet, Finns 91/.22, M28 all matching, M27 1932 VKT and 1940 Tikka both rarer years both matching, M28/30 1940 matching, M39 1941 Sako Straight Stock all Matching including floor plate.

Also pictured 1939 M28/30 RIIHIM?KI and 1942 M39 Sako Sky, but they aren't available.

Bren Ten of all places I found in Finland. A friend traded me Bren Ten for a M-3 Infrared Scope Set for M1 Carbine. He knew I wanted a Bren Ten, and definitely hooked me up on the trade. I'm very thankful for it. I've wanted a Bren Ten since I was a kid, and I could not normally afford one at today's prices.

Also added a good amount to my collection that aren't pictured, but I will get some pictures of them including mint 1909 Argentine and 1935 Brazilian Short (both pictured in pic of 4) 1910 Uruguayan, 1909 Dated Uruguayan, Canadian Issued Inglis High Power, Finnish Civil Guard Officer's Luger complete with provenance, and more.

Wish I could afford to keep everything.

I bought them in Finland and imported them. There was more. Came from a couple collectors selling their collections. Got 3 Finns and Canadian Inglis from one old timer. They even all had holsters.

One of my childhood dream pistols because of Miami Vice. The other two are Dirty Harry's .44 Automag and Paul Kersey's .475 Magnum Wildey Hunter.

Nice acquisitions..

I am a little confused though as usual.. You traded a M3 Infrared Scope setup for the Bren 10?

Mine was the Diamondback McQueen used in Bullitt, I own a clone of it.

But, the Bren Ten would certainly be up there.

Nice finds man, great stuff!

That is correct. Straight up trade. Bought scope from Legacy. My friend knew the value difference, but wanted the scope for a Finnish Rifle build and did me a favor. He lives in Finland.

I delivered the scope to him while he was in NYC (he is a commercial pilot) then he gave Bren Ten to my Finnish Exporter, who he also knows, when he got back to Finland. Also delivered a rare soviet scope that he bought from a member here who shipped it to me. Small World.

Thank you. I wouldn't mind buying a second magazine if anyone has one for sale or has seen one for sale recently.

I know of a couple retailers getting imports from Finland recently, any intel you can share with us OP? Can we expect a steady supply of imports from Finland the next couple years?

Seeing as Finland just joined NATO, Im thinking they are getting ready to off load store houses of old Wood junk and replace them with shiny new NATO toys.

You're funny. You do know how many were sold new from the factory without magazines don't you? From what I've heard, most of the promised magazines never shipped.

I have read that, but I also read some shipped with 3 mags. I saw recently a couple sold. One was also in Europe.
