Man am I embarrassed! I said that Charlie Kenyon introduced the 06/24 designation, when it was really Fred Datig (1955)! He was the one who relied on his Swiss source for the information on production. Please excuse my "senior moment" and my sincere apologies to Charlie. He properly designates the variation as "1906 Bern" in his book (see pages 212-213 in the earlier edition). I composed my posting while at work without my reference library, and I goofed. I am really sorry. There were almost 18,000 units of this variation produced by Waffenfabrik Bern. The serial numbers started consecutive to the last DWM Swiss, at 15216, and ended in the 33000 range. Again, my sincerest apologies. At this stage of life I should think twice before responding. I think I will shut up for a while.
