"SA" in a square is "Suomen Armeija" or "Finnish Army", and indicates a Finnish captured rifle. It's one of the few ways you'll find a post-revolution, pre-'68 (no import markings) rifle in this country.
Check for other markings in the Finnish section at Mosinnagant.net, starting here... |

The "circled k" mark should mean that this rifle passed accuracy testing ("kuchnost"), while the lower-case "n" is actually a Cyrillic "p", showing that the barrel was proofed ("proba").
