What's Wrong With This Picture...?

Hello ,
according to my book 06/29 Lugers have been made from 50001-77941 from June 1933 to November 1946, in 3 Variations. The diffencence betwenn those are only the material of the grips Ã¢?? first have been Ã¢??red grips (canevasit)Ã¢?? guess around ser. range 50001 to 56 000.
Second style was brown and the black backelite grips have been the last style.
So the serialnumber 780 000 is not recorded by Swiss Lugers! Probably that is the main problem !
Other curious thing is, that the two 9mm prototypes of the model 06/29 are only recorded in the ser. number P 26 291 and P 26 000!!! There are no more 9mm prototypes exiting. Another 9mm variation was produced for private customer purchase to the HÃ?Â¤mmerli factory. Additional 11 of these 9mm variations are delivered to privat customers as well from the W+F factory but they could not be called prototypes.
So I be happy to have a book, where I can find out those details.
The title is : "Pistolen und Revolver der Schweiz seit 1720" from Kriss Rheinhard and JÃ?Â¼rg A.Maier.

Regards
