Big Brother · 06-10-2003, 05:16 PM

Does anybody have an idea what KKE/N.66 on a Finnish Luger stands for (it is stamped on backstrap)? Any input would be much appreciated. TIA.

I have looked thru my books of pre-WWII Finnish units. My oppinion is:

KKE = Karjalan Kaartin Esikunta N.66 = Numero 66.

Same in English: Staff of Karelia Guard number 66.

This Unit was part of 2nd Division in 1937.
