The BKIW guns were for commercial sales. Germany made all of the commercial Lugers for the Swiss. The Swiss didn't make a civilian model until the introduction of the 1929 Swiss. They only made around 2000 of those and the serial number of the civilian guns had a "P" prefix (not to be confused with the "P" and a 2-digit date marking on guns that were released from the military for private use)
