my Swiss is home - info requested from the Pros
 

my Swiss, which I purchased from Legacy, arrived today and I'm pleased as punch to add it to my (now 3) Luger collection

Legacy adverted the pistol thusly : "Beautiful Swiss Bern 1906/24 Luger Rig.....type : 06/24.....maker : Waffenfabrik Bern.....condition : 99%.....Bore : Mint.....Year : N/A (but I looked it up and found 1929)

3/6/25 This is a beautiful example of a Waffenfabrik - Bern 1906/24 Luger. All matching original with the proper Swiss proofs throughout. It comes as a rig with a Swiss leather shoulder holster (with shoulder strap), a proper Swiss bakelite-bottom magazine and a leather lanyard. The gun has retained nearly all it's finish with just the slightest hints of high edge wear. Minty Swiss-style wood Grips. Mint bore.

(I have been advised that the magazine isn't the correct one for this pistol - is that correct ?)

here are the pictures that hopefully will identify the pistol for your evaluation :

The Swiss regularly factory refinished their lugers. That is why so many Swiss are in excellent shape. That and no war use. Bill

seems I can't post pictures with the computer I now use - dang, and I've got a lot of excellent pics to post.....oh well

my Wife did some on-line searching and found a website on which Swiss firearm' serial numbers can be "searched" and the result will be the build year - https://www.swisswaffen.com/.....this looks "valid" to me and it indicates that my new pistol's date is 1929

is everyone familiar with this site ?

Your computer probably is blocking pop-ups.
This website forum uses a pop-up window to upload photos files.

Sounds like you have a nice Swiss luger - hope you will share it with us.

I do particularly like the Swiss made Lugers. Congratulations.

I do have a question.....my Swiss Luger came with a short (about 4") Leather "lanyard" attached - do you suppose that it was put there just to show where/how a lanyard would have been attached, or ?????

thank you

No. This pull strap is fairly common on many Swiss lugers.

Pictures please - check the how to's in the general section

sorry about the HUGE double/double post above - I'm experimenting using IMGBB to post pics on this site

Gorgeous!

swiss holsters hold luger very tight. leather pull strap makes it easy to pull gun from holster.

ah so, thanks for the "strap" info
