Another 06/24 Bern claimed to be in 9 mm...
Lots of 9 mm barrels have been showing up on M1929 Berns here in the USA over the past 2-3 years...maybe more are now finding their way onto M1906 W+F's...???
The barrel on this offering on Gun Broker and the photo of the previous gun bought (and returned to the seller) by Chuck Campbell shows a barrel of a little "fatter' profile than the typical pencil-thin 7,65 mm barrels found on Swiss lugers. Rather than a relined or rebored 7,65 barrel to 9mm, these two guns appear to be sporting a fatter barrel altogether...
Nothing wrong with a fellow shooter swapping out to a different barrel. As long as it is declared when the piece is sold. This barrel has little swiss crosses added (do not know if the serial is forced matched or not...)...so it was either done in CH for a shooter or done by Waffenfabrik-USA to deceive.
This one is being sold out of MN State...not sure that is significant or not.
Be careful out there... (as they used to say on the Hills Street Blues TV show).
