Reply to comment by Norwegian_Thunder in TIL that Simo Häyhä AKA the sniper White Death kept a Winter War diary, that was discovered in 2017 from his nephew's drawer, when a local museum was looking for memorabilia for an exhibition on Häyhä by Nopatme

I think it is speculated that the wooden parts would not have held up with the elements so it would be mainly metal remains.

There have been some search parties in the area which is quite swampy but nothing has been found.

There is atleast a completely unverified rumor that a gun collector in Espoo, Finland would have Häyhä's rifle.
