Tom, The original 1923 purchase from DWM was for 5,ooo lugers with 7.65x98mm barrel and LPO8 stocks. I would guess what the "08" refers to, is either these guns rebarrelled to 9mm or the many other military surplus 9mm lugers that ended up in Finnish military use. These were usually marked with the "SA" to show army ownership. TH
