The Swiss are so far the favorite for style! Sergio As you are right next door accross the pond! love to have you visit Florida! What model is it? Accurate as a Swiss Watch~Little or no toggle wear! Beautiful straw and bluing! Are there any virgins still left in Italy and not the grape~??? Luv Ya! Eric

Anything rebuilt by the East Germans. I have no I idea why..... I just like Easties.

I like the dished toggles, 1900-1902. Pure art with that barrel taper. :)

Artistic slope! I have no idea why they changed to a course button instead!

I did some thinking! First I posted the 1902. The P08 came out later with the change to a more rugged grip! Better I would imagine for dirty muddy environments. Below in the middle is the first issue military, 1908. Germans had a purpose behind everything. The 1906 Frenchy had the change first year I believe and they saw it coming! Tomorrow I'll hit the books. But I'm still a romantic~

Eric,
you just like them all! ;)

Your Right! I just can't resist! They are all so pretty!!

Lugers
 

Hard choice between the Navy Luger and my byf 42's (two). I love the lines of the 6" Navy, but the byf 42's are special because they were made in the last year of Mauser's regular Luger production for the German military (before Mauser shifted production to the P.38) . ;) Bill

The last year of German luger production (actually P08 production) was 1953. Mauser made it's last P08 in 1948...

Commercial Parabellum production ended with the shutdown of Mausers production facilities in 1999. But Krieghoff did a small series in 2009 to 2010.

This Swiss is one of the first 1900 ever made by DWM (# 763) still with a low mag button. :rockon:

Here you go Eric...pick any one of them and it might be my favorite, depending on how I'm feeling that day. :thumbsup:
