Maybe I take a try. The pistols owned by Finnish Police were typically marked with "sword with crowned lions head as handle" symbol used by Finnish police. You can see the symbol for example in this webpage of Finnish Police:
Well, you probably are both correct. The thing is that weaponry and ammunition, which the Finns bougth from other European countries had quite a long and not so terribly direct route. Because Germany was trying to stop armament deliveries to Finland at that time and Britain & France were already in state of war with Germany almost all of the stuff arrived through Norway and Sweden. First the armaments were shipped to Norway, there they were loaded to trains which went through Norway and Sweden to Finnish border. In Swedish-Finnish border they all were unloaded from the train and reloaded to Finnish train (Finland and rest of Scandinavian countries have different railway gauge). The Finnish train then took the armaments to some military depot, from which they were delivered after inspection to Finnish military units, which issued them. The whole process took always several weeks and in some cases even months. What I have read the deal concerning FN 1922 was made at February of 1940. But as Winter War already ended at 13th of March 1940, it is quite possible the pistols had not yet arrived to Finland by that time (that is exactly what happened to most of the weaponry Finland bought during Winter War).
I checked my books. The FN 1922 pistols arrived already at February 1940, but according Palokangas didn't get issued until after Winter War. My educated guess is that this happened because the pistols were considered low priority in weapons depots compared to many other weapon types.
