And then there are the Swiss Lugers.

The 1900/06 Swiss Lugers made by DWM are very good. I think that the Germans were possibly trying to impress the Swiss when they were made.

Then, later, the Swiss Bern made Lugers are superb. I think that the nicest one I have is one of these; a 06 W+F ...

(per Ron's notes below, I now have the correct nomenclature... which I will now adapt as "1900/06 Waffenfabrik Bern")

I would suggest "1900/06 Waffenfabrik Bern", " '06 W+F", "1906 Bern" or some variant of any of them...but nothing that includes 1924!

Very nice Lugers but from what I can see out of my price range. 5 to 7K is just way too much $ for my budget. Story of my life. Champagne tastes on a Budweiser budget
