Default Re: Swedish Luger advertisement puzzle

Greetings from Finland.


Too bad that the typing on the ad is pretty darn small. I can't clearly see all the characters.


All in all this is an ad for SAKO pistol ammo. It states that many 1st place standings have been shot with SAKO ammo. "Always ask for SAKO".


This may well be common knowledge among shooting enthusiasts here in Finland what SAKO abreviation stands for. I for one have been living in the dark up until this ad came up.

SAKO name (as it is printyed all in it's mighty on this ad) stands for a National Guard's Armoury and Machining works.


'Suojeluskunta' (which I've translated as a National Guard) was formed up some years after our independence was achieved (sometime in the 1920's). It was a paramilitary organisation, leaning pretty heavily towards anti-communist patriotism.


I hope someone out there found this tidbit useful / enlightening.


BTW - can someone dish out url address where this picture is located (and preferably be bigger than what it is here) ?
