Ron,

I don't know what strange names you use over there. In any case my avatar represents the Swiss cross in shield, the one you find in the Swiss flag. It's the official logo of the Swiss federal state since about 1908 (I think). You find this one on all Swiss ordinance weapons. If you look at the Swiss DWM1900 and 00/06 1st variation you'll find the old logo.

As to Geneva, it looks like this:

But you won't find it on any weapon of the Swiss federal army (obviously). Possibly you may find it on pre-1870 guns, when there were still cantonal armies.
