It's a Finnish rework. The barrel is made by Tikka, typical of Finnish army reworks. Most Tikka barrels are 5", although "4 barrels do turn up now and then.

If it's a 1911 DWM, they turn up occaisionally. If it's an 1911 Erfurt, it's a first year production and much harder to find. Being a "Finn" it's value is deminished to around $1000-$1200 on average.
