Bill, the Swiss modified the grip frame design for pistols manufactured in Bern in a successful attempt to reduce production time and costs. (Even after tightening up procedures, the Parabellum was still expensive and time-consuming to make!)

The difference is aesthetic and makes no difference to the performance of the gun. I think the Swiss-design is a little ugly and departs from the iconic look of the German mfd. ones. I didn't mean to over-sensitize you to the issue, which is only in the eye of the beholder.

I think even the BIN is within reason, for this one. I notice, however, that the caliber on the box says "30". The barrel style is classic .30 Luger. You'll have the same thing as me, '06 configured AE, 6" in 7.65. I had to create mine by changing barrels, but it is my favorite shooter now. If you reload, or can put up with sporadic availability/price of ammo, I don't think you'll be disappointed with something like this.
