1906 Swiss Cross in shield

Murray and all the other Swiss experts,
this is a very beautiful Swiss 1900/06. When looking at photos of this special type of pistol pictures from the underside are very often missing. I would be very interested in seeing if the lock bolt is numbered to the pistol or not and how the serial number on the underside of the side plate is placed. I have had several pistols of that type in my hands. Some of them had the lock bolt numbered, some hadn't. On some side plates the serial number could be read from one side on others the side plate had to be turned just the other way round. On pistols with the lock bolt numbered the number on the side plate was always in line.
The Bobba book doesn't clarify that detail. Who can give some input.
Thanks, Armin.
