M39 Mosin Nagant gun porn (Image heavy)

I'm far from an expert on Nagants and what little I do know is from what I researched on my particular rifle. About 14 years ago a local gun shop was closing down so I went there to see if I could strike a deal. Now I knew just a little more than zero about Nagants at the time but I saw this particular Nagant sticking out like a sore thumb in the middle of a bunch of M44 carbines. All the M44's were in pristine shape but this one had some battle scars and I just loved the way it looked. Bore looked good, shiny with no obvious pitting. Bolt was a little hard to open... seems it takes a lot of force to compress the firing pin spring but I didn't care. So for not much more than $100 I took it home with me.
It isn't anything special as far as M39s go so far as I could tell. Sako mark and 1942 on the receiver. There is a stamp just behind the rear sight that I'm not sure what it means.
Numbers on the bolt match the receiver but the floor plate of the magazine does not.
No Sako on the stock, just this L mark.
Rounded finger, that means it's a war time stock right?
Really glad the importer did a nice job keeping the import marks discrete.
Lots of little stamps all over the place that I have no idea what they means.
Back of the trigger guard. Looks like a stamp but could be just a mark in the metal?
In front of magazine. Looks pretty light or worn.
Obvious Sako mark on the bolt with what looks like a letter A at the base of the lever. Couple of marks on the rear tang I have no idea what they are.
More marks on the bolt I can't identify.
Number 34 on the butt plate. There is also a number 72 behind the front sight post but looks like I forgot to upload the picture :o
I've got this one on the side of the left side of the receiver. Looks like a Sako mark was placed over another mark?
The rest are just more close up pictures for your enjoyment :D

Very nice gun. That could become a family heirloom.

I'm sure you know about the Mosin Nagant internet page/forum. They have compiled list of a lot of the stamps to help solve the history of the gun.
The Sako's are Finnish and quite desirable if I'm not mistaken.
This one...
Kind of looks like a hammer and sickle to me.
If so, it may mean it was captured by the Russian's and reissued to a Russian soldier at some point during the war.

Nice. How does it shoot? I've got a 91/30 that's a good shooting rifle. I like the long sight radius on most of the old battle rifles.

Just realized my cleaning rod isn't in my rifle. It came with the cleaning rod. I wonder where the hell it is...

Go check the price of the ammo. That is why everyone loves them

Nice rifle man. I have an M39 all numbers matching from 1927.

Removed the receiver and took a couple of more picture of markings I found under the wood. No stamps on the rear underside of the tang. I believe that is a Russian mark on the trigger.

That's definitely an Izhevsk Bow and Arrow.

Someone on another forum said the E with the arrow through it was a mark made by New England Arms. Many of the Westinghouse rifles did not have date stamps under the rear tang.
