Nice mags Pete. I know it may be easier for you to type "06/24 Bern" rather than "06 W+F " or "06 W+F Bern", and you have explained that before, but doggone it there ain't no such thing as 06/24 Bern. The Swiss began making their own Lugers in 1918 not 1924. I hate to be a pain in the neck about such a picky thing, but the new folks need to learn the proper nomenclature rather than perpetuating a myth that was created in the '50s when we didn't know any better.

Thanks for the excellent photos that show the pronounced step for the knobs that is typical of a Swiss produced wooden magazine base.
