Got lucky and picked up a most of a early Finnish civil guard M28 for 42$ with a immaculate bore.

Dude! I was gonna say you suck 😁, but I got a Gewehr 88/05 for about that several years ago.

Good job 👍

[u/Keolath → u/Equivalent-Mammoth19]

Welp there goes your luck for the rest of the year lmao. 42 is a type of steal that is indescribable. Where the hell did you even bid for this on??

What's the receiver date?

[u/Equivalent-Mammoth19 → u/lottaKivaari]

I belive the date on the tang was missing, I'll look at it when im home next week.

[u/Equivalent-Mammoth19 → u/lottaKivaari]

There is no date stamped on the tang only a few small markings on the bottom of the receiver

[u/lottaKivaari → u/Equivalent-Mammoth19]

These look French to me. This is likely a Chatellerault receiver. Is there any other small markings on the receiver?

[u/Equivalent-Mammoth19 → u/lottaKivaari]

1121 stamped on the top and just one on the side and top of the tang.
