Ted, GT is partially correct. According to Fred Datig in his "The Swiss Variations 1897-1947"page 49, this new style side plate began appearing from 1928, on the Swiss m24 at about s/n 27021 forward. Please check inside of part for swiss cross or date markings. I was able to accumulate a box full of Swiss proofed parts by taking them off of the PO8s imported from Norway about 10 years ago. I guess in the late 1940s, that Bern was about the only source of new luger parts around.
