Barrel length 10 cm, year of manufacture around 1920, valid German proof "Krone over N", condition 3 property stamps of the Finnish Army "SA in a square" on the left, rectangular front sight typical of Finnish weapons, original finish with traces of use, very good barrel, matching folding magazine with wooden base without Number (bolt catch does not hold with this), double-sided round brass inventory plaque on the handles with troop number. From around 1920 onwards, Finland imported a large number of Parabellum pistols from DWM, the basic model P08, also in 7.65 Parabellum caliber. In 1923 these weapons were officially introduced into the Finnish army, although they had already been used several years earlier. The numbering of the parts is sparse compared to German military pistols.
