Lot 25343:
Husqvarna Luger 9mm
This is an excellent example of a Husqvarna M40 that was part of a Danish Police contract, as indicated by the ‘D’ prefix in the serial. This is a Swedish made copy of the Lahtl L-35. Production was licensed to Svenska Automatvapen AB but the immediate collapse of the company passed the contract to Husqvarna Vapenfabriks Aktiebolag. The first m/40s were delivered to the Swedish military by 1942 with slight differences from the Finnish L-35 Lahtis. The grips of the m/40 have the Husqvarna "crown H" motif engraved and the front sight was slightly larger. The barrel is also slightly longer on the m/40 than the Finnish Lahti with the m/40’s trigger guard being heavier, and the pistol does not have the loaded chamber indicator and lock-retaining spring of the Finnish Lahti. This one is all matching and has a "Crown HV" proof on the tang. Import marked on front of trigger guard (A. CO. / RIDGEFIELD / N). Includes 1 magazine.
