Lahti – L-35 Pistol – #V0356

Description.

This is a a V-Series Finnish L-35 Lahti pistol in 9x19mm. The V marked pistols were not a formalized series. Instead the V-prefix on pistols typically was the result of the pistol having some sort of defect but it was not unserviceable. Typically these defects were cosmetic or the result of a poor preservative finish on the pistol’s metal parts. Being unacceptable for military service these still functional guns were given out to police or sold commercially.

Comes complete with its original Finnish magazine as well as its original VKT grips. Pistol is in good mechanical and solid physical condition and appears to be in good shooting order. The finish is blemished and its clear why this pistol was part of series V. Its also interesting to note that this pistol still has the lugs required for the attachment of the experimental wooden stocks (similar to the Luger) that never made it into mass production and were removed in later military production batches.

Pistol is marked with covert but legal Citizens Armory Imports import marks.
