Hi Thor,
Very nice. You are lucky to own the Swiss luger rig
BTW...the magazine with the wooden bottom is not correct for your M1906 DWM-Swiss luger.
It appears more appropriate for the '24 Bern Swiss luger (aka M1906 W+F Luger).
The two other Swiss "insert" disk magazines would be correct for your M1906 Luger.
Based on your Luger's serial number of # 106xx, it was made in Germany by DWM for the Swiss in 1909; a year when 2,950 lugers were delivered to the Swiss.
If you remember, could you tell me what proof stampings your luger has on its left side of the receiver flat ?
p.s. I think your luger's finish looks just fine and may even possibly be factory original. I would not suggest your father re-finish the gun; as you mentioned in your 1st. opening posting. In the USA, this would drastically reduce its monetary value as a collectible gun.
