Matching numbers, with original holster in German manner and matching numbered spare magazine. After the First World War, DWM delivered pistols in the P08 configuration in 7.65 Parabellum caliber to Finland, as German-made weapons in the 9 mm Luger caliber had been banned by the victors of the First World War. As a young state, Finland had a great need for weapons to set up its own armed forces.
