Interesting. I have a 120mm [~4 3/4"] 9mm Tikkakoski *Luger* barrel, no marks on it except '+1' on the [squared] front sight blade. Luger-style sight band & serrated ramp. Beautiful blue/black finish; some holster (?) wear.

My 'Husqvarna Vapenfabriks A. B.' M40 has the crown on the top of the 120mm curved-shoulder [not hex] barrel; crown over 'S.S.' inspection stamp on the rear of the gripframe under the recoil spring, and has the 'beveled' front sight blade. Long front sight band and coarse stepped sight ramp. Mine also has the accelerator, which Olle thought was odd for this pistol. All matching and I'm pretty sure is refinished [hot dip?] as it has no wear whatever.
