Your 1900 Swiss is not a commercial, it is a military. So it should not have the "BUG" commercial proofs and is totally correct.

John Sabato's comments on Aaron Davis' book are worthwhile. The book is a useful tool if you use the "flow charts" to identify a Luger. The detailed information on the different variations is full of mistakes and misinformation. It is too bad that Mr. Davis did not take more care in the preparation of this book, because it could have been a very good reference for the beginning collector.
