Previous thread on Finnish Luger's as there was some good information there:

[quote] At the last Portland gun show there were a couple of Finnish Lugers on one table. They had unusual stampings lengthwise on the barrels (which I didn't have the presence of mind to record), which didn't look like usual import markings. Both guns also had unusual front sights, pictured here (please forgive the crude drawing):

The sights were of the square post variety, and the rear sights were modified to match.

I am led to understand that Finnish Lugers were arsenal-rebarrelled in Finland. Were the markings possibly in reference to that? Is this style front sight legit to the rebarrel, or did someone add them later?

Dwight, I quoted your question above, and yes those are excellent picture representation that he did for us, Thanks again, [img]smile.gif[/img]
