Identify Swiss Luger

It appears that the Swiss army undertook pistol refinishing. However, this particular example is a DWM commercial manufacture pistol, and would not have been in the Swiss military chain of custody.

Dwight's description of this commercial Swiss is very detailed and accurate. Most examples of this I have seen were all in the "i" suffix. It is an unusual variant. Of interest, Simpson LTD has two examples for sale on their web site, both asking prices just north of $3K.
