Swing,

A lot of thanks. Mailto: [email protected]

Done

By the way, I did not found this picture (http://www.kaur.ru/docs/sodan_elokuva.php?pic=kuva_2)
in SA-kuva archive. But it is downloaded from this source. Your ideas?

I couldn't find it either.
Perhaps someone else can help here?

Regards, Juha

The photo is probably from the 1942 film Suomenlahdelta Äänisjärvelle (From Bay of Finland to Lake Onega).

Tykinkuula, johon on kirjoitettu "Mainilaan", ammutaan Kivennavalta 31.8.1941.

Artillery shell with the text "To Mainila" is shot from Kivennapa on 31 August 1941.

Originally it is from Puolustusvoimain katsaus 10, near the end of the short film.

Thanks a lot!

I searched with Mainil* based words and with the date, but without results.
...and used the english language section, where there is not for some reason the +päivättömät(= +dateless) option availlable

Unfortunately your and peeved's data is some kind of "aavekuvat" for me. May be there are some limitations for foreign users of SA-kuva?

The search pages in both Swedish and English have some reduced functionality. In the Finnish search window like the one you screen grabbed, tick +päivättömät in the upper right corner and you should be able to find undated photos like SA-kuva N:o 173034 etc. which are not found by the bog standard search.

Thank you so much, Markus! I hope this information is not a top secret . There are a lot of fans of SA-kuva in Russia, esp. SPb, and your hint is a bit of a help for us. Sorry for offtopic, but it is from the heart.

Hi all,

Can anyone identify this artillery piece?

Looks like 114 H/18 - English Q.F. 4.5 inch Howitzer Mk 2, but I am not sure
