I found this Luger on the attic

Thanks for info. It is a 7.65 mm. You see it both on the ammo and I have also checked the size of barrel. How the pistol came to Sweden I do not know but, but either with a finnish soldier or maybe some civilian who got it from a military. Who knows?
But, it is very funny to try to get to know the history of the pistol and one start is to get to know what LAS 6 / 1 means. Was the Finnish Lugers always marked in this way? Did they change the number on the brass plate if the Luger went to another place? When did they stop using the Luger in the Finnish army?
I send a picture again on the Brassplate
