This is my 4th trip now. As usual I stay with Finnish families and not hotels. This makes for some very inexpensive trips when it comes to food and rent!

I saw some amazing large arms collections and discovered some new things about Finnish Luger's as well as some of the old Mosin Nagants.

I also got to film a WWII Finnish pilots uniform along with the very rare flying badge. There were a bunch of Mannerhiem Cross winners among these pilots. With this rare uniform was his original Browning Hi Power with the original stock and holster.

More later.

Turku show that is or at least he thought it was you. I almost went as well but it looks as if I will be in Finland a number of times in the next few months - Just could not spare the time for the show.

He had a table there and said an American came by - I thought it might be you.
