Swiss Lugers of different models are generally identifiable by their serial numbers.
Your Luger may have a large "P" stamped somewhere on it, indicating that it was privatized.
These were available for sale to the individual that they were issued to at time of retirement from Swiss military forces. They had the option to have them completely refurbished by the Bern arsenal at that time. Many Swiss Lugers are in exceptional condition. They are also constructed to exceptional levels of precision, which is one reason I really like them.
