Picked this one up recently because I didn't have a PL marked Finn, and this has a lot going for it. It's a Finn captured 35 Tula that is PL marked, [SA] stamped, and 41 stamped. It is your typical Finn mix master with a stacked barleycorn front sight, and the rear barrel band is one of the early 91/30 button bands. The bolt is Finn matched and the stock, while well worn still retains its original finish.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
