Heads up: Russian Luger... 1906

Hi Steve,

Actually the '24 Bern luger made by the Swiss was supposed to be identical to the M1906 DWM had made for them but stopped with the outbreak of WWI. But the Swiss went with their own version of grips with the plain borders along their sides. You only see this on the '24 Bern lugers.

Take a look at this luger's toggle knobs...it should have the "dicing" pattern of the German-made M1906 lugers.

You don't see them do you ???

The toggle knobs/link on this '24 Bern is actually a spare part from the Swiss M1929 Bern luger...those knobs were made smooth with no dicing or lateral grooves.
