I have been focusing my recent collecting in the Swiss area and think this acquisition plan might make a decent, well-rounded Swiss Luger collection...
Anyone see something that I am missing on my list ?
In a year or two when the guns are all together, I will plan to post a family shot :
M1900 Swiss-DWM, with 1st type thumb safety, early 3-digit or later, unrelieved or relieved magazine feedway.
M1900 Swiss-DWM, with 2nd type thumb safety.
M1900 Swiss-DWM, with 3rd type thumb safety; preferrably a wide trigger (in the 4000-5000 serial range).
M1900 Swiss-DWM commercial with BUG proofs.
M1906 Swiss-DWM, with cross/sunburst on the chamber.
M1906 Swiss-DWM, with cross/shield on the chamber.
M1906 Swiss W+F Bern (aka M1924 Bern), 1st variation side plate.
M1906 Swiss W+F Bern (aka M1924 Bern), 2nd variation side plate, with the taller "island" on the side plate.
M1929 Swiss Bern, with red plastic grips and magazine, 30 cal., either military or commercial.
M1929 Swiss Bern, with brown plastic grips and magazine, 30 cal., either military or commercial.
M1929 Swiss Bern, with black plastic grips and magazine, 30 cal., either military or commercial.
M1929 Swiss Bern, with black plastic grips and magazine, factory-original 9 mm barrel.
M1934 Swiss-Mauser, M1906 style, in the 3600v to 3800v serial range, either with a blank chamber or a cross/sunburst on the chamber.
Mauser Interarms (from the 1970's), swiss style, .30 or 9 mm with 4" barrel.
Mauser Interarms (from the 1970's), swiss style, .30 or 9 mm with 6" barrel.
p.s. I guess I could add a 1902 Swiss Fat Barrel...only seen two ever (Shattuck's and the one that sold at Reno 1.5 years ago), but that would be kind of like looking for another 1910 Erfurt...

Pete...
