According to "German Pistols and Revolvers 1871-1945" by Ian V. Hogg, the Swiss Military were using "converted" LP08's in 1919.
I've never seen one and Hogg's is the only reference I've ever seen to them. I would suggest that if yours is a genuine LP08 adopted by Switzerland around 1919 and so marked it would come under the "rare as rocking horse poo" label!
