"The Border", also known as "Raja 1918" and "Border 1918", is a 2007 Finnish movie starring [[Martin Bahne]] set in the immediate aftermath of the Finnish Civil War of 1918.
The year is 1918. The Finnish Civil War has just ended. Captain Carl von Munck, newly returned from the victorious Civil War, is posted near the border to Soviet Russia to prevent "illegal" people from crossing the border. In the tense aftermath of the Civil War, with thousands of Russian refugees fleeing from the aftermath of the Russian bolshevik victory in Russia, noone with Russian heritage is allowed to cross, unless they are willing to face a Finnish firing squad.

Nice article. I believe the unknown rifle used by Korpelas' character could be a Japanese Arisaka Type 38 cavalry carbine. During WW1 Russia acquired a fairly large number of Japanese rifles because their domestic rifle production couldn't keep up with the demand. Historically many Russian army units stationed in the Grand Duchy of Finland were equipped with them, and Russian bolsheviks also supplied them to Finnish reds, so the appearance of a Japanese carbine in the Finnish civil war would be accurate.

Unknown rifle

Nice article. I believe the unknown rifle used by Korpelas' character could be a Japanese Arisaka Type 38 cavalry carbine. During WW1 Russia acquired a fairly large number of Japanese rifles because their domestic rifle production couldn't keep up with the demand. Historically many Russian army units stationed in the Grand Duchy of Finland were equipped with them, and Russian bolsheviks also supplied them to Finnish reds, so the appearance of a Japanese carbine in the Finnish civil war would be accurate.

After reviewing the rifle in question I have to agree.
Ariska 38 Carbine
The bayonet too matches the one shown in the movie.
Bayonet
