1900 Swiss Contract Luger

Alanint, this described Swiss luger, if correct, would be from the earliest contract 1900's sent to Switzerland. It is a highly desirable piece! If original, several things would be expected to be present. It would have the early first type safety lever with large cross hatchings. The "small" DWM logo should be on the toggle top. It should have an unrelieved frame and a wide flat button on the magazine. The early magazine should have no holes drilled on its side, not as with later 1900 magazines. And of course, it should have a +/V (Vogelsang) acceptance proof on the left side of the receiver. I'm sure I don't speak just for myself in anticipating photographs later. When you are able to take them, make certain you include close up views of the safety lever, the serial number on the frame front and barrel bottom, and especially a view of the bottom of the frame where the magazine goes in addition to the magazine button. Hope to hear from you soon.
