Why Swiss?

Almost all of them in the USA have been import marked.

They are very high precision Lugers and are generally very well cared for. Many were arsenal refurbished to new condition when the officer that used them purchased them.

They have been pretty plentiful recently, with new imports comping in to several C&R dealers. I bought mine at auction or at shows locally, and they cost quite a bit less than I thought they would. I don't know that I would recommend them for investment because of plentiful supply and level demand, but they are very fine high precision pistols.

They are relatively plentiful because officers can purchase their service pistol at time of retirement, and also have them arsenal rebuilt at the time. Many come onto the market immediately, and some when the officer passes away.
