Finnish [SA] marking, authentic or forgery?

[Pingy]

I'm pretty new to collecting stuff, but I found this SA mark on a gun and it appears atypical because the box is broken under the A. I haven't found any examples of this anywhere on the internet in my research and I was wondering if anyone could tell me with any certainty whether or not this is authentic or forged?

Nothing unusual about it, they are hand struck, hence the lack of uniformity. Hell, a full 1/3 is missing on one of the Carcanos I have.

Cool, thanks.

Broken stamping dies are very common. When conditions do not allow replacement, you use what you have as long as you can.
