Some FinnFest images

It was a great time a couple of weeks ago in Duluth and over 3,000 people came to see the display. Our display was the largest of the event and the lectures we put on were also PACKED. Marshall and I were able to interview a number of vet's and Lotta's telling their stories of the War years. I have ...

I asked about these- Apparently these were a special run by Colt. I do not know anything about these pistols but I was told the insured value is $10,000.

In the future we are going to try and have one room or area just of displays as that would make things much easier. Rifles - M91 Mosin Nagant, P14, G...

" However the 41 definition could use a little less speculation and more clarification as time goes on" The problem is no one seems to know so all we have is speculation. Even in researching this in Finland no one has come up with an answer. Most that I have spoken with there do seem to fe...
