My favorite M91s are those from the 1890s. And there are lots of nice extras on that one.

Congratulations.

I queried a friend in Finland about the plate. This is what he had to say -

Hei Michael,

I noticed earlier you use finnish Hi;)

The ID plate is for V = Varikko for depot. The M91 rifle was 2nd line weapon and issued to depot personnel. These ID plates are nice additions, because ID plates were ordered to be remowed during war.

Like the brass ID disks found in other Finn rifles, some slipper through despite the order.

Very nice find!
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
