rare m24 auction

Missing handguard and stock finnish may keep the price down. It
may be a pomo finish though. Click the photos to see the barrel
markings. A rare bird. Thought I would pass it on.

Im not sure about classic? I just bumped into the auction on
Proxibid is all. Martin08 snd others say that the KLP stamp
alone is a $200 preminum.

Scroll down to the part where it talks about payment options.
So the KLP is a rare district? Not sure of the significance
because I haven't really seen that many of them.
From mosinnagant.net :

> he rifle on the left bears the marking "KLP" which signifies
that the gun was assigned to the the Kymeenlaakso district and
most probably the armoury. This district's armory was the most
active of all the local Civil Guard sites and was responsible
for all kinds of major armament contract jobs for the
Souljeluskunta. The marking on this rifle almost certainly
denotes that work was preformed on this barrel in shortening the
threads and refreshing them, thus making the recutting of the
chamber a necessity. The rifle on the right with the "christmas
tree" also signifies the same procedure but it is presumed to
have been performed at the primary Civil Guard workshop. It is
thought this is the reason that the "christmas tree" marked guns
often lack the high pressure proof of the SAKO facility as found
on the KLP gun. You can clearly see the marking of 3600 with the
SAKO "S" in a gear wheel separating the 36 and 00. This also
adds some credence to the though that the Kymeenlaakso district
preformed the work and it was approved by the SAKO facility as
meeting pressure specifications.

Rifle looks poly finished. If the klp is 200+ the poly is 150-.
Break even maybe. I see it is up to 230 now.

I thought poly too, but I've had two big finn collectors tell me
it may be a pomo laquer finish seen on some m24s. I dont know.

description says sanded and varnished but it is hard to tell
without it in hand. It was not sanded recently as it has an
uneven spot on the joint it appears. If cheap enough maybe. Hard
to say sanded on some of the older ones as they went through
rough times and maybe a redo or 2.
