During WW II Finland bought some 2,400 M/35 pistols from Belgium (Ser No 11,000-15,000), 900 of them arrived in Feb of 1940 and 1,500 in March of 1940. All M/35 pistols bought for Finnish military had early tangent rear sight. Number of these pistols were issued to Finnish pilots during Continuation War, since with holster-stock they were considered to be best pistol available. Those pistols went to Army were issued mostly to frontline infantry. The pistols delivered to Finland had adjustable rear sight with tangent settings up to very optimistic 500 meters. The holster-type Finnish military used with FN M/35 during World War had holster attached to wood holster stock. But apparently they were often used without this stock holster, since it made the pistol holster clumsy to carry. Hard wartime use was visible in survivability rate of this pistol in Finnish use. Year 1951 only 1,378 pistols remained., s/n 133xx |
