It's a beautiful DWM 1900/06 "New Model - Cross in Shield" and was surely used by the Swiss Army before being released as a "private" gun; these insignia markings were applied from serial number 9051 to about 15200 As far as I know pistols only with the Bern cross without both of the control punches of the chief inspector Vogelsang and of the successor Major Muhlemann are quite rare, and I've never been so lucky to see one yet. Congratulations, and thanks 4 sharing.
