Heh. The bottom three are Old Model Swiss military sn 128; New Model sn 25091; and New Model sn 55166. The top three are Alphabet Commercial Swiss-market original applications: sn 2343i, 3082i, and 3191i. They are all original. I made this composite several years ago to show the comparison between pre-war and post-war milled safety applications, how the care in milling these markings had deteriorated. It is a small part of a much longer article: https://forum.lugerforum.com/showthr...light=alphabet, a pre-made demonstration I dredged from my archives. I presented them here to demonstrate the detail photograph necessary to show the characteristics necessary to make any kind of determination.
