Dan: The 06 refers to the "new model" designation for the Lugers produced in 1906 when the 1900 models were modified to incorporate the coil mainspring and the breechblock with the improved extractor. Lugers would retain this designation until the introduction of the 1908 model that eliminated the grip safety.
