Hi All, Thanks for the information. I haven't received it yet ,but my evaluation from just looking at the pictures tends to make me think that this was a re work of a Swiss Bern Luger. From what I have been able to find out all of the production Mauser equipment was dismantled and disposed of after the war. There was a need for smaller pocket pistols. Because of the huge expense for re tooling the thought was to take a already existing Luger and re machine it into a smaller version. Since there was a large quantity of virtually new Swiss lugers available this seemed to be the best option. Rumor has it that only 3 to5 of these factory prototype babies were produced. For some reason the project was stopped. Perhaps because of the already existing ppk , walther, sauer, and many other available options the belief could have been that a smaller version of the Luger would not be a profitable option. Also from what I have been able to find these prototypes were not from the 70s but closer to the 50s. What can any of you add to this ? Have any books been written on these babies. Google does not give much in the way of information on these prototypes. Thanks guys
