Very Early 1900 Swiss Luger...

Dan,

Saying you Ã¢??own a modest collection of early Swiss LugersÃ¢?Â is somewhat akin to saying that the Louvre owns a modest collection of Rembrandts. Early Lugers are my chief interest, and you have accumulated some great examples.

My admiration for your guns aside, I wonder if I might ask a couple of questions? Do any (or all) of your three earliest pieces still have unrelieved frames? Also, your #90 is the first example under approximately serial number 600 that I have heard of with VogelsangÃ¢??s mark. Have you observed any others?

I join with John in welcoming you to this merry little band of Luger nuts.
