Well, I may be straying off topic, but since the 1924 vs 1906 discussion is bouncing around here, I'd like to follow that train of thought.
"luger.parabellum" mentioned the change in finish, possibly in 1924, as being a potential cause of the confusion. Meanwhile, most books I've read take a poke at the Bern 1906 for being of inferior finish to the DWMs that had already been purchased by the Swiss.
My new (to me!) Bern 1906, the one with the broken trigger pin, has a wonderful blued finish with very clean machining. It is also a low number 154xx (year mfg 1919??).
So, were the later ones rougher?

Thanks!
Jim

PS: I contacted Pullman Arms and sounds like they can fix the trigger with their micro welding. I'll keep you posted.
