A Study...

Hi Doc,

Can you clarify...???

Are you saying this one is an original finish or of original configuration (but refinished...) ?

If an original finish; I respectfully disagree...and we can just agree to disagree...

If original configuration; why would a Commercial luger not have BUG or Crown/N proofs (on barrel and receiver) and why does it have an Swiss Ordnance or Swiss Arsenal "rework" swiss cross on the barrel. ?

If orginal configuration but refinished; what would justify an asking price of $ 5550...wouldn't a non-arsenal refinished Swiss commercial run in the $ 2500-3000-3500 price range ? I say non-arsenal refinished...as I do not think the Swiss Bern arsenal would have done the polished area at the thumb safety this poorly...IMO.

The PIA photos from 2-3 views do appear to show a sear bar that is strawed...if that is not appropriate for a M1906 commercial but it is strawed on this gun...then someone got carried away in the rework shop...did they not ?
