M40 Lahti

Not Danish but one of a Finn M 35 and a Swede M40. I would think that the Danish stock would be similar, if not the same as the Swede M40. The Danes contracted to Sweden for their M40s.

Here's a quote from the same site:The Danish Brigade was trained in secrete from 1944 until spring 1945 and it was equipped with pistol m/40 which were taken directly from Swedish Military stores. The Danish brigade was equipped in Sweden with 1 000 of ordinary Swedish military pistols m/40 with SS inspector stamp.
These guns followed with the brigade when it was transferred to Denmark on the night between 4th and 5th of May 1945. The pistols were later used by the Danish police.
