Spotted a 1929 Swiss Luger...

Pete: Aarron Davis' book is a handy little pocket guide, but I would be careful using it as a reference standard. If you look you will find that he lists ALL Lugers as having strawed parts, even the 42 and byf coded Mausers! I think he is the victim of "copy and paste" editing. There are a few other errors throughout the guide, but in all it is a nice reference for folks getting started in Luger collecting. I stand by my earlier observation and remain suspicious of a 06/29 Swiss with strawed parts.
