According to Bobba, it was shipped in early 1909 when 2,950 Lugers were produced for the Swiss. There were 1,950 made in 1908.

He indicates that the cross in sunburst was used until sn 9050, and the cross in shield was used starting with sn 9051 which was the first 1909 made Luger.

You have the 66th Luger shipped with the new symbol.
