The Swiss Cross in Shield replaced the Cross in Starburst because of a change in Swiss law adopting the new hallmark symbol for the country.

The Swiss Luger you're considering dates to 1913. This was the year that Col. Muhlemann replaced Herr Vogeslang. Is that unusual? Yes... It's a group of perhaps 800 or so Swiss Lugers that have inspections done under the leadership of both men.
