There is one; http://www.milpro.fi, however the site is completely in Finnish. You have to fish around a bit to find the Finn stuff.
http://www.swat-team.fiis handy for equipment but lacks uniform items. There are going to be some items of Finish kit made in the UK but this is still only in the planning stage, details as it happens.

Seriously, read the full story here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Thorne.
Not a man you'd like to sit next to on a long flight, but an interesting story all the same.

The top photo is interesting - the guy closest to the camera is wearing the old M/27 uniform jacket (note the vast collar). I wonder if these guys are Civil Guard?

A post card sent back by a Swedish volunteer in the Winter War. No idea if these were his troops etc. And maybe some Finn can translate the Finnish cause Google makes no sense with its autotranslator!
