Numbers
 

Hi,
I'm trying to date my Luger collection.
Does anyone know where to find a correspondence table between the s/n of Swiss army Lugers (1900, 00/06 & 06/29) and the year of manufacture?
Thanks.

Hello Panda,

Welcome to the Luger Forum !!!

The swiss luger book by V. Bobba has an excellent serial number table for all DWM-Swiss and W+F Bern swiss lugers. The book runs around $ 100.00, is over -sized, is written in both Italian and English, as has some really great color photos of the nicest Swiss lugers around...

Drop me a note at my e-mail address (at : pebbink@pacbell.net) with your return e-mail address and I can scan & send those pages to you as jpeg files...

The only "condition" is that you need to post some photos of your swiss lugers so we can all admire them... :D

p.s. Inside your 06/29 W+F Bern, in the front frame well where the take down lever shaft runs, you will see some numbers stamped. For example : "6.40" would indicate your 1929 Bern was made in June of 1940...

Regards,

Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />

Another excellent reference to Swiss serial numbers/procurement is Fred Datig's " The Swiss Variations 1897-1947". I have these available @$15 each + $5 S&h. Tom H.
