Is this a rare Swiss Luger?

not to my knowledge - it's based on my research in the Swiss Federal Archives.

I'm working on different publications - but my Swiss Luger story is not written yet...

The last thing I have published is a small book about the Swiss pistol trials 1892-1900 (but it's in German - see below)

Thanks again, Alexander. Do you also work on the subsequent trials? I study the SIG P210, mostly:

If you mean the trials in the 1940's, I have enough material for some articles, but I have planned other things first.

Some years ago I published an article in a Swiss gun magazine about the first Swiss weapon exports to post-war Germany (Bundesrepublik) in the 1950's and one of the main topics was the export of the P210-4 for the German Bundesgrenzschutz. If you are interested, I can send you a copy of the article, but it's in German.

Do you have the excellent P210-book from Armbruster and Kesser (Begegnung mit einer Legende - SP 47/8, P210) - I can strongly recommend it.

I would love to have either pistol. To shoot either would be like driving a Bentley! Thanks for sharing the books...I'm going to check both of them out if I can find them.

Thanks again, Alexander. I would appreciate a copy of your article. I have the books by Armbruster and Kessler, Vetter, and Doebeli. My German is not so good, but Google Translate fills most of the gaps.
