Just got this 1939 Finnish M-27 today at a great price. I spent the last few hours cleaning it and put it back together. The bluing is fantastic, only a few light spots I had to steel wool under the stock It has matching numbers, never counter bored, the bore needed to be brushed and cleaned to find strong rifling but light frosting.

It still had light cosmoline on some parts to help protect it. The stock is in incredible shape, I only wiped it down with 0000 steel wool and mineral spirits to take off the grime, then coated it in boiled linseed oil. The trigger is crisp and it appears only lightly used in its 75 years.

I'm not going to sell it, but I wonder what value it would have in the market, I feel I got a great price and my seller was happy with his full price payment. Any opinions out there on value outside the ODT? It is hard to find anything online.

Cant net wait to shoot it later today.
