1900 Swiss Luger

Here are some additional photos and comments.

This particular photo shows the 0'S on the left side of the receiver. The one at the top looks more like a U, but I believe it is simply a lightly struck 0.

This is a little better picture of the "flaming bomb" look-alike!

This photo shows the bottom of the magazine. You will notice that the SN# 2914 is stamped on the bottom. From previous information, it is my understanding these should not be serial numbered. An interesting feature is that the serial number begins with the 2 on the left ear of the mag bottom. Interesting?

This image shows the rear of the frame, which has the small Swiss cross and does show the "V" notch in the rear sight. The flatside of the rear toggle link does also have the small Swiss cross, but the rear sight is not "U" shaped. The photo may be be real distinctive, but it is clearly a sharp "V".

This photo shows the witness mark, which is inline and one strike, that would suggest this Swiss has not been rebarreled.

I am looking for any and all comments from you Swiss "Experts" to assist me in determining just exactly the authenticity of this Luger. I believe it is all original with the exception of being reblued and the (serial number) forced matched magazine.

Thanks in advance for your comments!

Best Regards,
Bob
