Hi Mike & Marvin!I remember these guns! They were imported into the us back in the mid 80's. The pistols had a somewhat heavy contour 5" barrel with a tall square front sight, the grips were a high quality black plastic made for the gun, but, they were not black widow baekolite and could be affected by certain cleaning solvents! So be careful! I think the guns came directly from Finland, but it seems some type of monkey motion was done to get around the import restrictions of the time......I believe Tom Heller knows something of these pistols...till....later...G.T.
