Mike,

I don't know anything about the Finnish Lugers, but it is very interesting that yours is import marked and have the Finnish markings. I wonder how this pistol came into the possesion of the Russians and was reblued by them. Why were the stamps polished off?

Since the Finns were allied with the Germans, I would suspect that the Germans provided some of their older pistols to them, but how did it get into their stock of German captured pistols? Very interesting.
