Well, when I compare the "style" with the original WWII test type, they are similar in some ways.
Both don't have a locking mechanism, both are sandwiched into the board and both use a screw/rivit to lock the iron onto the lug groove. The iron and the pistol are blued the same.

I would have to say that this is an original or genuine Danish police stock iron.

I do believe the holster was rivited to the board.

If any of our European friends can find an original WWII L-35 finnish stock or a M40 original WWII Swedish test stock at a show or market, I would pay a nice finders fee if I buy it.
Thank you.
