Husqvarna Vapen 40 Pistol, 4.5 Inch Barrel, 2 7/8 lbs

During World War II, Sweden was uncertain whether Nazi Germany would respect their neutrality, so they sought a replacement for their outdated FN Model 1903's. To that end, Husqvarna was contracted in 1940 to produce a replica of the Finnish L-35 semi-automatic pistol chambered in 919mm Parabellum, which Husqvarna continued manufacturing for both the Swedish military and police as well as the Danish police until 1988.
