Ron,

Thank you for your insight into the misuse of the conventional dating techniques developed in the early days of Luger collecting. Collectors and authors like Fred Datig (1950) made assumptions based upon their research that was limited compared to today’s available information.

I am aware that the designation 06/24 is not accurate. The Swiss started planning production of the “06 W+F” well before 1918. I erroneously fell back into the conventional dating of 06/24 in preparing this presentation. However, this misuse was a topic of discussion in the Q&A section.
