Four Major Swiss Luger Variations

[Ron Wood]

Marc,
Beautiful guns! I obviously share your enthusiasm for Swiss and posted a similar photo some years ago.

P.S. Every chance I get I repeat...there ain't no such thing as a "M1906/24 Swiss"...they started making them in 1918! I hope someday to get folks to call them "M1906 Waffenfabrik Bern" or "1906 W+F" or just about anything that drops the "24"!

Ron,

Are the Swiss Lugers made after 1918 also "reproductions"?

Well, sort of. The Swiss didn't start making their own until 1918 but I guess that lets them squeeze in under the wire. So with that in mind, all the Lugers they produced after that time still came from the same manufacturer and that would make them non-repros. But I will say that they tried awfully hard to make them look like repros with the M06/29.
