Swiss Rework-A Glorious non Event

I am pleased to anounce that David B's Swiss was a rare Salesman's Piece. Ralph Shattuck has one like this on and he identified it as another one after I sent him pictures. He and David made a trade so Ralph could retain this collection piece and David would get a shooter with some of the exact features he was looking for. I am so glad this piece was preserved! I just couldnt bear seeing it go under the knife!! Thanks to both you guys, David and Ralph, for making this come out great for everybody! Ted

I want to express my appreciation to Ted and Tom on this situation as I truly do not collect lugers but do have a soft spot for nice ones. However, the Swiss did deserve to go to a collection. A trade was made with Mr. Shattock for a nice 1906 M2 Port. .30 cal 4 3/4 in. barrel with excellent bore. The Swiss was found a table at the Dothan, Alabama Gunshow (fairgrounds) along with a 1900 American Eagle.

Ted If you get a chance, I would appreciate a copy of the photo series you took on the Swiss for my records Thank again. David.

Again, the Lugerforum proves it's value to the preservation and collection of Lugers. Good job.

David,

This was a very nice thing that you have done to preserve this Luger for the future. You have contributed unknown wealth to a long gone art of handgun manufacture. This pistol will now be able to be enjoyed by many future Luger collectors. You are tops!
