I have nothing concrete to add but to say that is a fine looking pistol. -

Pretty sure that's not asbestos, that was saved for items like machine gun gloves and other purposes. Some helmets have asbestos in the upper pad but I have never heard of anyone getting sick from them, and outside of sailors, it wasn't a health issue prevalent in WWI soldiers. Scott -

Not and expert on these pistols... but... Your gun is in the pre-German occupation serial number range which started around 45,000 in this so-called "Variation 1" format with a stock slot and tangent rear sight. So, not a German P.640(b). Contracts for China, Peru, Lithuania, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, and France were fulfilled prior to 45,000. Your serial number is 39714. So, I suspect your Browning HP was made for the Finnish contract. I hope this is helpful. -

Thanks Lars, and yes I had already read about KA5. One thing I wonder is why they didn't have the new modified jackets without the epaulets and with the added rear pockets? Do you think they just continued to use old stock or is it possible that this Private stayed in long after WWII and did not modify his uniform, or did the coast artillery not receive the modified uniforms? Thanks, Scott. -
