Swiss Parabellum parts compatibility...

Ed, the small parts can be interchanged without problems. Even the complete toggles just slip into place. Same goes for the Mauser Parabellum, really. I've even put MP parts on a P08 and vice versa.

The main problems are with the barrel/receiver combination and the frames. An 06/29 Frame will work with an 06/29 Barrel/receiver combo, but not with much else

postscript:

It may be a fun test for someone with the parts at hand:

-Assemble a 1906 Swiss barrel/receiver in .30 luger with an 06/29 frame: Test it.
-Assemble a DWM 1906 or 08 style barrel/receiver combo and test it using an 06/29 frame.
-Repeat with several barrel lengths.

Mauser found problems with the following combinations:
-06/29 toggle ramp combined with 10cm .30 luger barrel.
-06/29 toggle ramp with 15cm / 10cm 9mm barrel.

That is why the initial Mauser Parabellum came in .30 luger with a 15cm barrel.

ps: the X on Guisans scans means 'not available'. I guess that the person who compiled the list had no data available for those particular parts. Rough translation of the header:

Exchangeability of the parts of the three Swiss Army Pistol Models 1929, 1906, 1900.
Table:

- = can be exchanged/swapped.
blank = Cannot be exchanged/swapped.
X = Not available.
