Swiss Pistol 1900 with wide trigger

Swiss Pistol 1900 with SN 4355. This gun belonged to a lot of 1500 unnumbered parts sets which were delivered in 1903/04 from DWM to Switzerland. They were assembled in 1903/04/05 by the Waffenfabrik Bern (W+F). That was the last delivery of Pistols 1900 the Swiss Army. In 1906 the delivery of Pistols 1900/06 began. In 1934 the pistol was transferred to private possession.

Typical for this variation of the Pistol 1900 is the wide trigger. One can find it on the last 1100 to 1500 Pistols 1900 (between SN 3500 or 3900 to SN 5000; the information in the literature is contradictory). The aim of the wide trigger was a better trigger control for target shooting. It seems that the wide trigger was only produced by W+F but not by the DWM.

The pistol has the reinforced extractor made by W+F and still the original "V"-shaped rear sight.

I’m interested in SN of Pistols 1900 with wide triggers below SN 4000.
