Lahti L-35
The Lahti L-35 is a Finnish manufactured semi-automatic pistol. It was manufactured from 1935 to 1952. The pistol was used by Finland throughout the Winter War (1939-1940) and the Continuation War (1941-1944). the Lahti was a high quality pistol which worked reliably in cold weather or when dirty.
A Swedish copy of the L-35 Lahti, the Husqvarna m/40, saw service with the Swedish military until the 1980s. The m/40 had the same internal design to the Finnish L-35, but was made from lower quality steel. Cracking in the frame was common which only worsened when the Swedish military fired the hotter 9mm ammo designed for the Carl Gustav M/45 SMG through the pistol. It was phased out in the 1980s and eventually replaced by the Glock 17.
The Lahti L-35 and variants can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:
