"P" Privatization question

Hueydriver · 03-18-2006, 08:41 AM

You see some Swiss lugers with the P xx and some without. I realize the soldier that chose to keep his weapon upon leaving the military had a P-date stamp to signify release. Were the pistols without the "P" sold directly by the military, and if they were, why then did'nt they get a "P" before they went out the door? Also wondering what the ratio of with/without is. If anyone cares to WAG. Fun to explore all the different aspects associated with the Swiss lugers. Seems to me the Swiss soldier took great care and pride in his weapon.

Thanks, Jesse
