Are there any real diferences between the Swiss and the German models? I just came upon this article~ http://rantsnraves.blogs.com/gungaze...le-190006.html

No, not really...until you get to the Model 1929 Swiss, and then the differences are largely cosmetic.

Is there one model held about collectors as 'must have'?

Ron - the Swiss used DWM parts for quite a long time to assemble their Lugers, right? When did they start making their own?

If you are talking about Swiss, I would guess it would be a very early 1900 with an unrelieved frame and flat button magazine. Prototype and pre-production pieces are out of the question for anyone other than millionaires.

Not many variations, just 1900 DWM military and commercial, 1906 DWM military and commercial, and the two produced by the Swiss - the Model 1906 Bern and the Model 1929 Bern

Not exactly. DWM produced the Swiss Lugers up until WWI. The Swiss started making their own in 1918.

Eric,
We are still talking Swiss here. The prototypes were made in 1898 and the pre-production in 1899.

There's also some "try/test" with the model 1929 barreled in 9mm , before adoption for the SIG

Ron & Eric, I believe that you forgot to include the M1906 Swiss Police with the "cross in shield" logo and the 9mm Bern Police in your list. TH

Tom,
Thanks! The "cross in shield" wasn't a police issue, it remained army but just reflected a change in the national emblem (I would have to look up the date and official order). The 9mm Bern Police is a nifty variation, one of the last DWM production with the "lazy" Crown/N proof.
