Hi All

Edward: Thank You for Your excellent questions about what details should be checked for further discussion. I contacted the police department and asked more especially about markings. I requested also more detailed photos. Please see:

- No letter in front of the frame (under the serial number) but letter B under the barrel (not visible on photos).
- Date stamp on the top cannot be found
- If Finnish contract, then known as M23 and SA stamp under the serial should be seen (at least according to some sites I found when searching Luger history in Finland). So maybe not the case here.

alanint: Maybe I was too dramatic to say that the gun will be melted. I can always sell it to someone who has (like Panu Koljo) better possibilities to get license even for shooting with this gun. If one have a multiple licenses already and proved track record your hobby with the guns, it is much easier to get license for a new gun. Personally, I don't have a license(s) and I have not been a member in a shooting/hunting clubs for years, so normal license for a hand gun is not realistic. If my application is rejected then I save the gun by selling it; of course, then I will loose it which is sad, because it has a lot of personal value for me due it's history in our Family. But if application is accepted, I am pretty confident that I can provide a proper and safe storage conditions for Her for next 70 years or so...
