06 Waffenfabrik Bern

Thank you for properly identifying this lovely pistol as "06 Waffenfabrik Bern" rather than the incorrect "24 Bern" designation that continues to be perpetuated, even by those who know better. It is interesting to see that it was "privatized" only 10 years after it was made. Probably accompanied its owner into retirement when he mustered out and was permitted to keep his pistol. It is indeed a fine piece. The proper magazine for this gun would be the wooden bottom magazine with the metal disk inserts. You gots good stuff!
