Info on swiss army luger

Hi Thor,

Very nice. You are lucky to own the Swiss luger rig

BTW...the magazine with the wooden bottom is not correct for your M1906 DWM-Swiss luger.

It appears more appropriate for the '24 Bern Swiss luger (aka M1906 W+F Luger).

The two other Swiss "insert" disk magazines would be correct for your M1906 Luger.

Based on your Luger's serial number of # 106xx, it was made in Germany by DWM for the Swiss in 1909; a year when 2,950 lugers were delivered to the Swiss.

If you remember, could you tell me what proof stampings your luger has on its left side of the receiver flat ?

p.s. I think your luger's finish looks just fine and may even possibly be factory original. I would not suggest your father re-finish the gun; as you mentioned in your 1st. opening posting. In the USA, this would drastically reduce its monetary value as a collectible gun.
