Greetings from Finland

Hi guys. Today we celebrate our independence day in Finland and therefore I’ve got a story for you. I apologize my bad English. My grandma’s brother served in ww2 as a sniper and managed to keep himself alive. He brought a Parabellum 08 as a ”war-souvenir” and When his time was to go, he wanted me to keep that piece, because He knew I was quite good with guns. ”Remember to keep that Parabellum in our family, don’t loose it” was almost his last words to me. He never told anybody How he got that gun, that story went in grave with him, but it has something to do with the end of ww2, when finns pushed Germans out of Lappland.

I’d like to know the history of this gun, can anybody tell something about the pictures I try to attache.

Thanks in advance.
