Just wanted show some examples of Finnish tunics.

What a wonderful collection and beautifully displayed!! It certainly looks as good as any uniform display I've seen in a museum!

Would love to get my hands on the Lahit and fire a few rounds out of it. Heard it was a superb weapon

Love the set up you should be very proud

Great show!

Really nicely done. You must have enjoyed seeing all of them laid out like that. I know I would. Good job.

Thanks guys for all the positive comments.
Yes, I was very pleased the way it turned out , even all the vets were surpised to see that I had collected all this stuff.
You couldn't keep their hands off of the Suomi machine gun.
Thanks again

Hello BK,

i can only echo what has been said before, simply a world class collection!

If time permits could you perhaps talk us through the various tunics?

Hi BK, thanks for posting these pics. Very impressive. I don't think I have ever seen so many Finnish uniforms in one display before!

Cheers, Ade.

[besslein]

very nice

[gzegosh]

yes, more info on the tunics would be very interesting!

[byterock]

Ah it is a Suomi not a Lahti. Another one I would like to have a look at as well. They are both rare beasts.

You know any collectors who have a Lahti?

I guess a 20mm full auto cannon is something the authorities could take objection to? Unless you live in the States
