Difference Swiss - Original pistols

Hi Hermann,

The "swiss" lugers made by Mauser and imported to the USA by Interarmco, Inc. in the 1970's had the straight, flat surface of the front grip strap...very similar to the Swiss Bern M1929 lugers made with red, brown, and black plastic grips and magazine bottoms.

Some folks do not like the feel in-the-hand of the front grip strap on these 1970's lugers (and equally on the M1929 Swiss Bern lugers).

Here is a photo of my 1970's "swiss" style luger ensemble :
