Imported by Marathon Prod. Inc. with import mark on the right side of the barrel. Known as the "Mosin Nagant improved", the Finnish Model 1928s are built from refurbished 1891 Russian Mosin Nagant rifles. The rifles were shortened as the Finnish Civil Guard troops usually traveled by ski and needed a shorter rifle than the full length Mosin Nagant. The rifles were rebarreled and fitted with a permanent front sight protector. Barrel stamped "SY" indicating High Command of the Civil Guard, and "SA" in box indicating property of the Finnish Army. 27" barrel with protected front sight, tangent rear sights, cleaning rod, integral 5-rd magazine. Very faint import marks on right barrel, can't make it out. Bore is very good/bright, Stock has been heavily varnished. Correct green canvas sling attached. Condition is good C&R Firearm
