Item Details
Description
1 of only approximately 2,000 Series III L-35 Lahti pistols manufactured at the VKT arsenal and subsequently delivered to the Finnish military in the spring of 1944. This example was among the first L-35 pistols produced that had their design simplified via the removal of several machined features, most notably lacking the rounded protrusion for the lock retaining spring at the rear of the slide, but still retaining the loaded chamber indicator. The top of the receiver is stamped with the "VKT" logo above "L-35" as well as a boxed Finnish "SA" property stamp. Left side of frame bears an encircled "M" proof. Butt of frame exhibits a Simpson LTD. import stamp. Metal components exhibit a military blue finish, with the frame being mounted with 2-piece plastic checkered "VKT" logo grips. Matching numbers are present on the frame, slide, and bolt carrier. Pistol is accompanied by Swedish M1907 brown leather holster stamped with 3 crowns as well as a "Crown / I 15" proof on the flap. CONDITION: Excellent, with metal components retaining the vast majority of their arsenal applied blue finish, exhibiting some scattered superficial handling marks and a few spots of minor thinning and wear overall. Mirror bore, exhibiting sharp and well defined lands and grooves throughout. Grips are excellent overall. Holster is very good, exhibiting some mild wear from storage and handling. MLW Accessories: Holster Barrel Length: 4 - 3/4" Caliber/Bore: 9x19mm Parabellum FFL Status: Curio & Relic Manufacturer: VKT Model: L-35 Serial Number: 6346
