It may well be a WW II Finnish Luger, and it could loosely be described as 'original' as the Finns used whatever they had or could capture. It never left the Mauser factory that way, but could have been refurbished by a Finnish armorer.

Page 2 has a good comparison of the late model barreled M40 and the early barreled model. (I have the early style M40).
