What can the experts tell me about this Luger?

The Tikka replacement barrels were made in at least two different lengths and I have Tikkas in both 9mm and 30cal.

Some of the M/08 pistols were brought to Finland by the Finnish "Jaeger" division ( trained in Germany form 1915-1918) and used in their war of independence in 1918. A few more M/08 pistols were purchased from Belgium during the Winter War 1939-40. During the war years and after the wars some more of the M23's along with other P/08s that had been acquired ( some from civilian population ) had their barrels replaced with Tikka barrels in both calibers.
