GB #626864598 is a Valmet 212 in 12 guage and .222 Rem. Imported from Sweden, I think, and finished more like a Savage/Valmet 330 than the 2400s I'm aware of (plainer wood and checkering). Still a very nice basic combo. If it shoots like my 2400 in the same caliber/guage, it's a winner.
The importer, Greene Sporting GSI of Greeneville TN, might have more of these and seems to have a little "pipeline" to used Valmets in Sweden like Simson Ltd. does. Ohterwise I know nothing about them.

They shoot just like the Savage 2400 and are the parent gun for the Savage. They do not interchange with the 412 in any manner, BTW. I have one right now in 12ga/22SVG HP that's a tack driver. I gave one in 12/222 to a good friend here who treated me to a great OK quail hunt and doe hunt. He puts it to good use.
