SOLD - Rare Finnish Lahti VKT L-35 Rig (5976 - 14893)

Description

3/19/21 - This is an excellent example of a rare Finnish VKT L-35 Rig, made in the 1940's. This Finnish designed and manufactured pistol (a copy of the Lahti) was issued to Finnish military frontline-units during Winter War (1939 - 1940) in very small numbers and in growing numbers during Continuation War (1941 - 1944). After World War it remained in use of Finnish Armed Forces until 1980's. This is a Series 3 pistol, characterized by the VKT makers mark and SA marking on the top of the slide. Only a little more than 2,000 of these guns were manufactured. The gun is all matching and has retained about 95% of its original finish. There is minor wear on the straps, around the muzzle, and on the high edges. Some light handling marks here and there. Comes with excellent VKT grips - small chip in the left panel. The rig comes with a rare green "SA" marked holster and a proper "SA" marked magazine. The bore is excellent - shiny with strong rifling.
