m.1923 Finnish Luger rig
 

recently acquired this Finish 7.65MM DWM Finnish contract rig w/o import marks and sporting the correct surplus WW I shoulder stock. I'm a sucker for pistol carbines.

Very nice !!! Bill

Same here and nice rig!

The stock lock
 

Is that safety looking stock lock a common thing? Pardon my ignorance.

Yes, that lever is proper for the Luger board stocks.

To me this gun letter suffix is hard to read. Is it G? It does look like it has been hit there twice.

The Finn Lugers were taken from standard alphabet series commercial production and the first deliveries were from the k block and up. Therefore your suffix letter is not a g but is possibly a q. The highest block delivered to the Finns was t.

Alphabet Commercial Parabellums are sometimes found with a crown overstamp of the serial letter suffix. It looks like it might be the case with this pistol. Could you post a closeup picture of just the frame serial number?

Shall cheerfully re-photograph. But next weekend at the earliest.
