Unusual Swiss Pistol

Dave,

A 4-digit w/suffix serial number was not in the Swiss contract luger runs (either Ordnance or commercial issue)...I think your gun was surplus WWI inventory re-issued in the Weimar period as an 'alphabet luger'...

Swiss chamber marking could have been from a left over Swiss contract receiver fork or a receiver that went to Switzerland for a shooter and was stamped by a local gunsmith...but the Germany indicates importation from Germany to the USA...

Your luger has done much traveling in its life...
