Kazim, The Finnish army purchased 5000 commerical 7.65 lugers with 98mm long barrels from DWM in 1923. I'm not sure when the army added the SA property markings, but I have seen several from this lot NOT SA marked. Those still in military hands during WW2 had the barrels changed to 9mmP and usually 5" long with Tikka arsenal markings on the bottom of the barrel. TH
