Found it.....

"Although most of these rifles never saw combat, Sweden had remained neutral for nearly 250 years, some m/96 rifles were used in Finland's war against Soviets from 1939-1940. During this time, Sweden sent over 8,000 volunteers completely equipped with rifles and gear to help Finland. These rifles can be identified by "SA" proof marks."
