question on when the last lugers were made

Sorry...John...

The last Swiss lugers by Bern were made in 1947 (commerical series).

But then there was one (1) prototype (model 29/65 W+F) they made in 1965 at the request of the Interarms folks. Turned out this one cost too much to make, so Sam Cummins went to the Mauser folks. I think the Bern folks sold their swiss machinery to the Mauser/Interarms folks which started making the swiss-style lugers in the early 1970's.

p.s. What about the "French lugers"...??? When were those assembled...?

Regards,

Pete...
