I just checked Simpson Ltd and they offer a 1906 DWM Luger made for the Swiss for $1995. It has 95% original finish with 60% straw and an excellent bore. All matching with the Swiss cross-in-shield over the chamber. https://simpsonltd.com/dwm-1906-switzerland-z41358/

To my eye the 1906 is the most pleasing of all Luger models. A person could specialize in them.

Thanks Doubs, you know what if this deal doesn't work out I will have to give that Swiss a serious consideration. Didn't notice that one at Simpson because I have been so focused on an AE but I am open to another 1906, tried to get a Brazilian a few weeks back (pistol not wax) and it fell through. So I'm a little flexible.
Thanks
