Gentlemen (assuming that there are no women on this board either - if there are, please excuse me!),
I picked up an M/40 tonight, my first Swedish pistol since I sold my M/1907 years ago. Being new to these pistols, I was wondering about production date and other details. Serial number 696XX. The grip plates are brown, as opposed to the black ones I've seen on other guns. Also, there are crowned SS initials on the rear of the frame, which I understand means that is was inspected by Sten Stenmo. Did he inspect Air Force guns only? One of my sources say so. Any and all information about this gun will be highly appreciated. I'm trying to include some pictures.
Regards,
Balder
