jussi, that would be a possibility except that this pistol was manufactured after WWI (sometime in the mid to late 1920's).

I came across as old post which said:

"I have looked thru my books of pre-WWII Finnish units. My oppinion is:

KKE = Karjalan Kaartin Esikunta N.66 = Numero 66.

Same in English: Staff of Karelia Guard number 66.

This Unit was part of 2nd Division in 1937."

This is the only bit of info I have found on this unit marking. What do you guys think?

Oh yes!

I checked the wartime records! I must be getting old... That 1937 info must be correct.

But what is /E.2? Staff pistol number 2 possibly.
