Finnish 1915 DWM 7.65 Caliber

I am looking at a Finnish Luger Rig that I am a bit puzzled by. The Luger is a DWM 1915 chamber dated/marked but the barrel has been replaced with a 7.65 caliber barrel and marked with the Tikkakoski circle/triangle T. It is all matching but the barrel (Tikkakoski Marked) is the only evidence that it was in Finland. It is a very handsome Luger in 97% (straw about 75%) with a SA marked holster and tool and two magazines one wooden bottom and the other metal. The Luger itself is NOT SA marked. I know most of the Finnish Lugers were obtained from DWM and are basically a 1923 DWM commercial Luger. This Luger is Century import marked and the owner said he got it from them when they were imported back in the early 90s. Could this be a post war rebuild and then put in inventory until imported by Century? Any ideas about this Luger? THANKS!
