Manowar and Fredo, welcome to this Forum. It's always good to hear from Swiss collectors from the "source" country. We not too long ago were able to buy from a large supply of surplus Lapua 30 Luger imported by Sportmans Guide here in the USA. I'm sure these are sold out now. Notice my avatar, which is a 1902 "Swiss re-work" pistol. This may be an example of a rejected Swiss military 9mm trial pistol. As you know the Swiss never accepted the 9mm over the 7.65 mm. This luger was arsenal restored and re-proofed with Geneva crosses, even in the frame well (overstamped the 1902 triangle in circle). The bore is well worn, indicating that your earlier military coutrymen really gave it a good trial!
