Lahti-Da?

So I joined the Lahti club today. I'll get a couple pics when I get a minute, but it looks just about like any other Lahti out there. M40, Danish contract, fairly low (54xx) serial number. I took it out and put some rounds through it.. once i figured out where it was shooting, it seems to throw pretty consistent groups.
I got it off Gunbroker, and I actually put in fairly low bids on 2 Danish contract M40's. Well, turns out their not the hot thing right now, and I wound up winning both. Ah well, guess I'll have to sell one. I think I'll wait until the other one arrives and see which one I like better...

Question, though. Serial number is prefaced with "d", and is in the correct range.. but it dosen't have the HV under the Danish crown on the but end of the receiver. Receiver and slide have matching S/N''s. I also don't see an import mark anywhere... any thoughts?
