Ed, I don't know that much about Finnish made magazines, but nothing mentioned looks specific. Would like to see "SA" stamped somewhere. The configuration of the stamped serial numbers is 1911 or earlier DWM.

The Finns reworked many of the original German magazines, sometimes adding plastic bottoms of Finnish manufacture. The larger metal pin was usually used to repin the new bottom, probably because the hole in the magazine tube had been damaged or enlarged in the process.
Note also the zig-zag spring replacement for the original coil magazine. Luke

Thanks guys, I was being vauge because it looked different to me, especially the sideways number. I got it with one of Dennis' (Empire Arms) Finn lugers he has.
I am cleaning the grips up and then will show it. Ed
