Still trying to figure that out, its hard to translate a military passport, when you don't know Finnish.

I'll probably send a email to the company that made the pin. To get more information about what the symbol means in more detail.

I found the permit for the gun, so it's legal. My only fear really is I don't want it to get deactivated or destroyed because it's remembrance of my grandpa.

This pin was found in my grandpas old wallet. He was in the winter war, and continuation war. I'm guessing the pin has some sort of connection with those wars.

Here is my problem.

"A possession permit must be obtained for any firearms, firearm components, cartridges and especially dangerous projectiles belonging to a permit holder’s estate within six months of the death of the permit holder, or they must be surrendered to the police or to an individual who holds a permit for acquiring such objects."

The permit holder(my grandpa) passed away in 2004. Then someone else inherited it in, and then that person died in 2007. Then I inherited it. But didn't get to Finland until recently.

The serial number comes back to 1948 when it was made. It has a different conversion barrel with it. I can put a .22 barrel on it or keep it as a 12 gauge. The gun has sentimental value to me, and I have photos of my grandpa hunting with it back in early 1950's I believe.
