I stumbled upon a couple Finns this week, and got this one cleaned and oiled up today.
It was fun reading about the P series and their history and I like the looks of this one. Bore is strong, a little dirty, but in the end I think it will be just fine.
I thought you all might enjoy a few photos. Opinions, observations and questions welcome!!!
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.

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.
There is gent who has been collecting serials and identifying marks on the P series for many years. From what I can make out from your picture your P-27 isnt in his database.
You can add here if you are interested in furthering the research. P- Series Database
