Well, all the fuss I made about the pictures was not needed after all, as I purchased the Luger today...it was too nice to pass up!

Excellent! Here is what attracted me to this Luger, as compared to my 1937 'S/42' Mauser Luger, my 1900AE Luger, and my alphabet commercial (plus two 'mutt' P08 Lugers) -

- Smooth toggle knobs
- Smooth magazine button
- Smooth/round button safety lever
- Smooth takedown lever
- 3/4 Trigger
- Long grip safety
- Long sideplate hump
- Turned barrel extension [it's rounded!]
- Long barrel w/"1900" style sight blade
- Unrelieved sear bar
- "S" stamp on frame for safety ("F" as well?)
- Swiss cross on toggle


That is just the physical differences I can see; it would be interesting to see if it has the wide chamber mouth, what kind of magazine it has, if it is original finish or a hot dip (doesn't look like any buffing).

These may all be typical for a Swiss Luger, but I have never seen one in person, so to me they are 'differences'.

Ir would also be a guide to us who are envious of it to know how much you paid for it, and if from a dealer, individual, auction site/house, or whatever...
