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.

Here's the pic that I forgot to post. Sorry about that. I don't know why it's not showing. It's also very small. I may have shrunk it too much.

The stock was cut off. A diferent seller (6+ months ago) made a reproduction board (his cut also) for his M40 stock iron. I don't have a photo of that one. Maybe to get onto the open market they had to cut the stocks. I don't think it is home made.
A photo of an original 1960's stock would tell me if it's correct or not and the shape of the board to make a copy if correct.

Ron, it is not a WWII Swedish stock iron or similar. The Danes contracted for 10K+ pistols for their police force also.

Thank you.
