Kind of distasteful. I always preferred a good ear necklace.

I have a Finn Mosin with a war-time stock in rather sullied condition. It has initials carved in as well as a couple notches. They are fairly big and deep notches and roughly done. Finns like drinking a such as killing Russians, which may explain both the notches and their crude quality.

I'm looking at this thinking, hey, that's pretty cool! Then I see the bottom one and figure the whole thing's probably a joke because they obviously wouldn't shoot at whales! But not to worry, I finally figured it out!
