Lahti was adopted only by Finland, Sweden and Denmark, although relatively small numbers of such pistols were sold to some other countries. The pistol has original black plastic grips with diamond checkering and the company logo under Swedish royal crown. Manufactured with the shoulder stock lug on the back of the hilt.

The revolver was manufactured by Husqvarna, Sweden, as indicated by markings located on the left side of the frame, just in front of the cylinder. Husqvarna manufactured only 14,000 revolvers from 1897 to 1905. Due to attrition over time, collector desirability, and such low production numbers, the M1887 revolver is getting difficult to find. The revolver is almost identical with Norwegian M.1893. The major difference is a square front sight, instead of the rounded one on the Norwegian gun. The revolver was converted to fire .22 LR by means of inserting subcaliber tubes into barrel and cylinder's chambers. Right side of the revolver's frame displays Swedish military property number, "L No. 308". 4.5 inch long octagonal barrel. The lanyard ring is a replacement.
