Here's a link to various old firearm related writings. They've been translated from Finnish into English.
Many of the topics linger in the year 1900 to WW II time era, and weapons of that era.

Here's a random copy of what kinda material to expect on that site:
"...German "commercial" Luger/Parabellum pistols were adopted in 1923. Barrel length of them was 99 millimeters and caliber 7.65 x 21 mm, because the dictates of Versailles' Humiliation Banquet in 1919 banned 9 mm pistols and barrel lengths more than 100 millimeters in handguns made in Germany. Usual bullet weight of 7.65 mm Para cartridge was 6.0 grams and the muzzle velocity of it was 365 meters per second from 99 mm pistol barrel. Accuracy of 7.65 mm Para cartridge is inherently good. There were also submachine guns with 7.65 mm Para chambering imported to Finland - and later made in Finland. Civil Guards bought Swiss-made licenced copies of German MP 18.I as "Brev�©t Bergmann" guns. Finnish armorer Aimo J. Lahti designed a independent model KP/-22 (photo below). Some prototypes of it were actually made. One sample is still existing in Germany...."
