Kalervo Nissilä is the handsome hero in THE MAN OF 100 SWORDS (Sadan Miekan Mies, 1951)
This is a solid Finnish Swashbuckler with good production values and great sword fights. Kalervo Nissilä is one expressive actor.
Thanks to Boris for finding the title.
(This is a screenshot of a mysterious Finnish swashbuckler I have in my collection and I have no further info on it. The film doesn't have any opening or closing credits. There are no English subs. It does have a inter-title at the beginning explaining what it's about and it 's about Gustav II Adolf. That's all I know about it. If anyone has any info on this film please let me know)

Searching IMNb for the character Gustav II Adolf in films, I found a film called "En Aventyrare" (Adventurer) a Swedish Film from 1942 with Sture Lagerwall. Couldn't find any photos from the film.. only Film Posters on Google. Looks close to what you are looking for.
Thanks Hal
I did find that title during my search but the mystery film looks to be more late 1940s - early 1950s, not early 1940s. Also I can't find Sture Lagerwall in the film but he might be in heavy makeup (fake nose and all).
The inter-title is in Finnish and I used Google translate via Finnish > English and it translated. I don't know if it's a Finnish version of a Swedish film or a Finnish film.
I need a screenshot from "En Aventyrare" to compare.
Seems to be "Sadan miekan mies" ("The Man of 100 swords") from 1951, see
