MK, Judging by the serial # placement and proofing, this luger began life as a DWM military issue. The single inspector's mark on the right receiver is unusal and as a post 1910 military, I would have expected the top of the chamber to be dated. It's possible that your pistol was made up from some leftover WW1 military parts at DWM, as part of their 1923 Finnish contract, but haven't seen this before. Also it was rebarrelled by Tikka Finish arsenal. TH
