Re #4. Yes, it will be that Lahti. I have seen a few of them around, and they are nice rifles, however there was also a Solothurn around here for a while. I was there the day it blew up. Now that WAS a nice rifle. It has since moved to a new owner who I believe was going to try to rebuild it, however recent government prohibitions here in Canada have banned the use of guns like these. As such, the cartridges I obtained will likely end up with a cartridge collector.
Re the candlestick telephone, I'll keep my eyes out (where else) at my favorite surplus store. They are bound to be out there somewhere.
