Were they issued to the military before the war when adherence to the 7.65 treaty rule was still being minded?

Or is it a commercial example?

Stictly commercial guns...

They were testing the market, I am sure, as they were made about the same time the H prefix guns were sold to Sweden.

Orv is correct, of course. I might also mention that a single action variation was also produced with wood grips and a sligtly larger frame, these guns were believed to be for target.

 

[Aufaffe]

Hmm,

Interesting.

So one of those here was either imported or looted at the end of the war.

It was brought to Canada as a trophy. The same officer who brought the HP back also brought a few other handguns and several medals.
