The Swiss Luger pistols in that specific serial number range consists of housecleaning of remaing 1906/24 WFB parts in their inventory. Swiss mindset ,nothing is wasted
They are just firearms assembled from parts from different models.
My concern about Genuine refers to the strange proof mark on the right side of the pistol . see attachment
I have searched Bobbas’ book and others and read all the Luger Forum threads. I found no reference on that specific proof mark.
Since WFB had strict guidelines in placement of approval marks, I strongly suspect the proof mark was applied by a private gunsmith or an owner of the weapon.
From reading the threads on this forum and Jan Still Forum ,Mr. Stucki has the most knowledge on this series of Swiss Lugers. I hope that that Mr Stucki may provide supply his insight to my question about the questionable proofmark.
