I have it's brother Swiss Luger made 1814 pistols later in the contract.

As Ron mentions these date from 1909, and are particularly well made. They have the long frame, should you want to replace the firing pin and extractor.

The Datig monograph you have is a very good reference to Swiss Variations.

There is also a more comprehensive book by Bobba "The Swiss Parabellum" which includes many color photographs. It's text is in English and Italian.
