Well, I got the Finn 1915 DWM Luger cleaned up and put back together. So here are some pictures of the pistol and holster. It is in very nice condition with at least 95% blue maybe 60% straw and it is all matching (including grips) with the exception of the barrel which is a Finnish replacement in 7,65mm caliber (perfect looking condition with nice crown and new looking lands and gooves) and maker marked Tikkakoski (small cirlce, triangle and T). It also came with a Finn SA marked holster and SA marked tool. Included two magazines--an excellent condition unmarked wood bottom and a only good condition unmarked wood bottom magazine (neither is SA marked). It is Century Arms Import Marked (CAI ST. A. VT. under that M-23 GER 7.65 PARA) under the barrel. You will notice that the front sight profile is different that a regular DWM WWI Army P.08 luger front sight. I assume this sight was added at the time of the barrel repalcement. It is mounted in a similar type DWM P.08 luger dovetail block/platform but is somewhat narrower. The barrel length, width, and profile is the same as a regular DWM WWI P.08 Army Luger. This is an interesting Finnish modified luger variation since most were based on the 1920 DWM commercial luger resulting in the Finnish M23 designated Luger. It has been reasoned by some Luger experts that this one was perhaps a private purchase situation. Any and all input, ideas and thoughts are very welcomed! THANKS
