Hey Doss, my Type-30 (long rifle) Serial Number is 149845, Mum is cancelled out with a Koshikawa arsenal stamp. Left side just has Serial number and inspection stamps, one lookes like a 3 and the other I cannot ID or find in MROJ. But I can never ID most inspectors stamps. Has Finnish Civil Gaurd marking on right side of buttstock. Rifle and stock are all matching except parts of bolt. Some bolt parts are only marked with serials other parts have the 3 parts of serial # but are over stamped with other 3 # didgit. Has V notch rear sight. Doss I got this from the same source as that sandedl early Type-30 I sold you last year.
