What type of information do you want?
There are some well known web sites covering Finnish weapons including Maxims.
The image you appear to have posted has not attached?

Unless the original manufacturer tired to market these guns between the wars the likelihood of finding an english langue manual must be extremly remote.
There is some coverage in the book the Devils Paint brush and there are also two Yahoo Web Sites you could post questions on.

I collect Russian Maxims and have two WW1 ex-Finnish examples.
Regarding the attachment, I am on a local goverment computer system which brings up most pictures but not yours.

I have the standard Finnish language Maxim manual and also a post-war dated (1947) Russian manual on the 1910.
I am always looking for Russian 1910 items and have a Finnish water can and a Blank Firing adaptor available as exchanges if wanted.
