Ralph Shattuck used to have a 1902 fat barrel Swiss in his collection (It was one of a kind and he may still have it). Probably you already knew this!

As I recall, Vittorio Bobba in his outstanding book "Parabellum, A technical History of Swiss Lugers" does not list the 1902 fat barrel Swiss. He based his book on factory and Swiss documents. (Note: on page 123 Vittorioi does mention a prominent American Luger seller.)
