Thank you for the search word for the sealing guns Markku! Very kind of you!
Thank you also for the good photographs!

Yes, I know the story of the battle you mention, and the accurate fire of the Finn seal hunters! They were very good with these primitive -looking rifles.
I had photos one time of the rifle used by Matts Kankkonen. A very good shot!
Mind, Simo Hayha maybe had him beat! :-)

I will send a link to a good friend back in England, who has a long time interest in the Crimean War.

Thank you for reminding me of it, as I had forgotten the name.

Very best wishes,
Richard.
