Hi,
In 1964 while in Switzerland I was able to purchase Swiss Model 29. It had a P64 stamped on the left side of the frame. According to the gun shop owner. Pistols formerly owned by Swiss military people can be sold privately and this particular pistol was sold to the gun shop that year. The P64 indicates year of sale. Further he said most of these type pistols are are arsenal refinished. I am not sure what all that means but I have never seen a Swiss Luger that didn't look pristine.
