It's the newbie again.
Is there one generally recognized Luger Manufacturer that is recognized as superior in fit and finish?
One source says Swiss manufactured are better, another that older DWM (pre WWI ) are superior to any other. Some say that Military are better than Commercial (not normally the case with most manufacturers) and still another that says those produced between the wars are the best (better metallurgy).

Am I being too simplistic - meaning it's like the Ford vs. Chevy argument?

My first acquisiton is a WF-Bern from 1920's in near mint condition.
How does that stack up?
