Ron,
I've found your posts on this subject very interesting over the years. A couple of questions if I may.
Is this 06/20 title for the German made Swiss commercials, a valid one ?

John Walter in his Encyclopaedia.... calls the first Swiss made guns, from 1918, "06 W+F".
The Waffenfabrik Bern then made some changes to the top surface of the breechblock and the sideplate which Walter says had the factory designation of "06/24 W+F". What's your view on that ?
