Payment Types Accepted: Visa,Master Card, Discover,Check Description: This pistol was made around 1947 for the Swedish Police.  It is an extremely sturdy well-built handgun that was originally designed by the Finn Aimo Lahti in 1935 to function reliably in the worst environments including extreme cold arctic temperatures.  His design was accepted by the Finnish Military in 1935 and designated the M35.  The M35 served effectively in the Winter War and proved itself an excellent military sidearm.  With WW2 still brewing, the Swedes took notice of the excellent service reports of the M35 in combat and decided to purchase the license required for them to produce this pistol.  The Swedes renamed the pistol the M40 and it began military and police service shortly thereafter.  This example was manufactured by the Swedish firm of Husqvarna.  It is in excellent original condition with 95% of the original factory blue finish remaining and a minty bright bore.  The rifling still looks sharp and prominent.  Everything works on this M40 like the day it left the factory.  The controls function perfectly and the action works smoothly and locks up tight.  The trigger is surprisingly good for a combat pistol as well.  It is a complete rig that includes a cow leather officer's holster with 2 extra magazines, a cleaning rod, a combination magazine loading tool/screwdriver, and a double oil bottle.  Most of these Swedish Lahti M40s were imported in the mid-1970's, and we have seen less and less of them available on the market each year at prices that continue to climb  These have proven to be great investment pieces, particularly high condition and complete rigs like this one.  If you have been looking for a Lahti M40 this example would be a superb choice.       SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes Manufacturer: Husqvarna Model: Lahti M40 Serial Number: D7549 Caliber Info: 9mm Luger Bore: Excellent Condition: Excellent Manufacture Date: Circa 1947 Extras: Original Holster, Mags, Etc.
