The Swiss started producing their own Lugers with their own tooling in 1918. Due to an error on the part of an early author the date was thought to be 1924 so folks still refer to them as 06/24 (a designation that I and others are still trying to get rid of). To decrease production costs the Swiss redesigned the Luger in 1929.
