1902 Fat Barrel Swiss...?

[Jan C Still]

Pete
Thanks for your comments. I hope this post clears up your confusion.
You stated "Mr. Still; have you changed your mind about this 1902 Swiss Fat Barrel ?"

I dont have a position on the 1902 Swiss so I dont have a position to change. I did point out that it is left out of the most authoritative book covering Swiss Lugers. Perhaps you or someone else didnt want that fact pointed out. You have left me a little confused as to the point of your post.

Apparently you skipped the paragraph on page 1 of the Book IMPERIAL LUGERS. I am repeating it below for you to read.

"SERIAL NUMBER DATA TABLES

Serial numbers used in this text were obtained from a number of sources ranging from pistols examined by the author to information compiled by other collectors or reported in publications. Such data is subject to error each time it is transcribed. Also, details in the description of pistols ascribed to each serial number varied greatly in completeness. In some cases the serial numbers ascribed to specific variations, or to indicate change from variation to variation, were based on a best estimate made from incomplete data. However, with this caution in mind, the serial number data tables provide a good general guide to the serial range, production, and scarcity of the pistols described. Any corrections or additional information should be addressed to the author for future publication."
