John,
I'm glad you had that photo in your archived reference file. Finnish was my first impression when I saw the ebay photo because of the strap mark on the toe of the holster, but I didn't have any reference picture to back it up. However, the stock on the Hermann-historica piece sure looks like one of those "terribly crude board stocks with abominable attaching yokes" that Tom mentioned. So, the questions are: is this a totally fraudulent holster (likewise the Hermann-historica rig); or, is this a representative Finnish holster and were the stocks made up by the Finns to replace or augment German made stocks? We tend to forget about the Finns when it comes to stocked Lugers. I have no idea one way or another, but perhaps some of our European members can give us some input.
