That's a beautiful '06. I really like the cross in sunburst over the chamber.

Do you or anyone know the story with the shield imbedded in the left grip? What does it say? I think the bottom line reads, "Zurich"?

That is a sweet gun, and the grip shield is very nicely done. I have a few Swiss and this one would fit right in. You can be justifiably proud of it.

Very nice.
Is it true that Swiss lugers[manufactured by them] even the 'simplified' models are better quality guns than German ones? |

I think Alexander (Stucki) is probably correct, I doubt that it is a dealer marking. There is a possibility that the gun, or at least the shield applied to the grip, is a shooting prize.

I was wondering the same thing, that if it might not be an award or some kind of presentation piece. Anyway it sure is a sharp Luger. Congratulations

The color of the extractor is curious!
