Dear Mr Ent! (Treebeard was an Ent Yanno, Dok knows)

The Finnish Military got about 8000 during the time frame of 1923 to 1929 in 7.65 mm and 4" Barrel. There were acquired from DWM and in the production block of no subscript,suffixs of m,n,p, r and u serial range. Mauser also supplied the Finnish Military with 1500 Lugers with the Banner trademark. MOST were later arsenal reworked replacing the grips with black plastic and in some cases replacing the barrels with 4" or 4& 3/4" barrels. Perhaps this is how you gun got its longer barrel, there were also parkerized. I assume yours has the SA marking on the left reciever? (Ref: Jan Still-AXIS Pistols, page 310) ~THOR~
