Nice and interresting to read you all and I am happy to join !
Passionate of the Luger since I recieved from my dad when I was 10 a beautifull silver Luger toy, I just realized my dream last week when I bought a splendid Swiss Luger model 1906/29 with the original holster and shoulder strap.
As I do not have any picture for the moment, here is it exact brother :

It has the Berner Waffenfabrik stamp ("F" and Swiss cross surrounded by a W )at the back of the frame (just under the reciever), an "ecusson" with the Swiss cross on the Breechblock, a Swiss cross under the barrel and the Bernerprobe stamp neat the serial number around the barrel. There is a "M" with a cros ontop before the serial number on the trigger plate. The serial is 59668.
Another detail is a "P" hammered in front of the trigger protection... What would the "P" mean and what would be the production year of this luger ? could you help me ?
For Mr Herb and his "Swiss expert needed" topic, the second mag I have has the same lip and the stylized "P". But it constantly fail to feed the cartridge correctly...
I will make some pictures soon... With my best regards,
