Some more photos. Sorry about the quality.

So MAYBE an Artillery Luger - > reworked to 1920 Commercial Alphabet Luger 7,65 mm -> sold to the Finnish Army -> reworked again at some point, dip blued and a new 7,65 barrel installed.

However I wonder why the breech clock was not drilled if the 2nd rework was done in Finland. The lack of the proof mark and the witness mark is not strange because I believe the Finnish Military Arsenal did not stamp those markings at all. Also not always the "SA"-property mark was stamped.

Some other explanation is also possible..

Anyways an interesting Luger even if it is not so valuable.

Have a nice weekend!
