Here's a stamp from one of my 28/30 bayonet/frogs combos.

...and because rifles were requested:

How about a straight barrel SIG M24 with about the lowest Civil Guard unit number you're gonna ever run across :bwink:

Scrolling down I thought that hard to find frog in great condition was cool, but S 6? That's awesome.

Not a big fan of the M39 bayonets (boring :biggrin: ), but I LOVE Puukkos!!!! That's a nice one, shmlnaaa. But I must say that new undated M28/30 has me VERY jealous! That one has been on my very short list for quite awhile!! I'd definitely love to see more pics when you can.

Metal is in good shape. Unfortunately, some nitwit polyurethaned the stock :(

Citristrip. It will remove the polyurethane without changing the wood underneath.

It has been on mine for quite a while too. I plan on trying to collect M28/30's by date and the undated one is a big one to knock out IMO. I am also trying to build up the Civil Guard part of my collection in general, but even with this 'new' rifle I still have quite a few hard ones to find. I'll try to get some more pictures when I get it, but I've been having camera trouble lately and also been pretty busy. I was really lucky to get this M28/30 (well I haven't got it quite yet, but it is paid for and my FFL is in the mail to the shop).

Here's both of my puukkos together.

First I have heard of this product, I will have to look for it at Lowes next time I am there, could be useful as I have a victrola suffering from poly disease.

A great bunch of Finns!! The Civil Guard is actually my collecting focus, so I'm especially interested...and impressed. Thank you for sharing with us.
That M28 in the two-tone stock is STUNNING!! But I'm sure you already know that :bwink:
