Right you are Herb, good eye (actually, the '29 Swiss do have very light striations on the sides of the toggle knobs, but not up over the edge like the toggle in question). The toggle in the auction is from a 1970's "Original" Mauser Luger. The Mausers were closely patterned after the '29 Swiss but did incorporate some modifications. The toggle knobs retained the smooth barrel look on the tops and around the perimeter of the knobs, but the sides of the knobs were knurled.
