Pete,
I know of no historical evidence that the Swiss purchased any 1902 Lugers. This would be a very important variation, and records should be available.

Just roll a Swiss cross on the chamber, and there you have it.

It is also easy for a gunsmith to put a Swiss receiver on a 1902. Look close at the serial number on the lug underneath to see if it looks like the other numbers on the gun. If the original numbers have been faced off, it will be a little lower, with fresh numbers, and slightly different blue.

Good luck.
