Hi there,
A lady friend of mine has her deceased fathers' Swiss Luger. Based on my research it appears to be a 1906/24 Bern with my estimate of 90+% blue, a v.g - excellent bore, nice grips, 4.75 inch barrel with matching serial number as on the receiver. Swiss transfer-to-private-ownership stamping (P.45) on the front left side. I've estimated that the serial number indicates it's made in approx. 1927.
If anyone can confirm/correct my findings and/or provide more info I'd appreciate it.
I'd also appreciate an appraisal of its value since it is available for sale and located in northern Minnesota. Included is an original manual and two magazines. When an appropriate value has been determined it will be posted for sale.
I have some pictures uploaded to an album so you can view the pistol there. The pictures were taken in natural light and the blueing looks better than the pics show.
Regards,
Alan
