Barrel length 10 cm, year of manufacture around 1920, valid German proof "Krone über N", condition 3-4 original finish with traces of use, good barrel, not contemporary milled magazine. Typical rectangular front sight of Finnish pistols. A brass disc with an inventory number was attached to the right handle. 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.
