The cross-in-shield marking began with serial number 9001. Your P'00/'06 Swiss Luger was part of a 1000 parts kits order from DWM delivered to W+F and assembled in 1908. If I'm reading Gortz & Sturgess correctly, the assembly of the kits up to serial number 10,000 was completed by 7 December, 1908.
Your pistol would have been issued to the Swiss military.
