1900 Swiss Rear Toggle Link Replaced?

Not uncommon to see fixed/repaired parts on Swiss lugers. If they needed fixing, they were fixed, that simple.

If original parts were not available, more recent spares were used.

Replaced rear toggles are not uncommon, and because they switched to non-checkered rear toggles in 1929, that is what they used for repairs after that time. Since these look different from the originals, it catches the eye. Other repairs are not that visible.
