If nothing changed lately.
9mm Para(Luger) is considered war ammunition and is forbidden to have. Even an empty shell is considered ammunition and could land you in trouble should you have it on you/your bag.
I once had a lengthy discussion at a police check at Rome airport and almost ended up in trouble because I had a 357 magnum keyring! Luckily at the end a superior officer introduced a bit of common sense and I was on my way(with the keyring).
Luckily the guns laws are a lot more open here(Switzerland)

Luckily for you gun laws are more open in Switzerland it's true, still that's the way the cookie crumble here, 9mm Luger is still considered "war ammo" (absolutely crazy).
Normally an empty case is not considered ammunition, but I know that exist key rings in the shape of a full ammo, as well as lighters in the shape of hand-grenades, that probably is not a good idea to carry on you, especially on a plane, or through a metal detector device of an airport.
