1900 Swiss Luger

Gentlemen:

I previously posted some pictures from a 1900 Swiss that I was contemplating purchasing. I went ahead and purchased this Luger and took several photos, which are posted below with some additional comments. Again, the pictures are quite clear and should answer most questions, but basic information is as follows:

The numbers (SN# 2914) all match including the all external and internal parts. There are some interesting stamps on the underside of the receiver including: the stamp that is often mistaken for the "flaming bomb" and also a couple of 8's and 0's, which can be plainly seen in the photos.

This particular Swiss has definitely been reblued and I still do not know by whom. I received some very good comments from Pete, Ron, Panda, Jamka, and would certainly welcome any and all comments and or observations. I will post some additional information under some of the pictures as per my own observations.

This next photo clearly shows the area under the safety lever. As you will notice it is blue and not "in the white", however it is also easy to discern that the area was machined as it still has the tiny machining marks and a slightly raised edge at the outer portions.

This photo shows the stamp that looks like the "flaming bomb", but is identical to the one Viggo shows in the technical section. It is not easily identified in the photo, but it is directly behind the takedown lever in the small well.

This photo shows the two 8'S that are on the underside of the receiver.

There are a few additional photos in the next reply to this original thread.
