Pete,
OK! OK! I believe you. Whats a 'CH' anyway? How would they put a Swiss Cross/Sunburst on a chamber that had been dated? Date stamps on the chamber are usually put in pretty deep just to be ground off. How would you tell a modified Swiss Luger that you are looking for from a counterfeit from a questionable dealer since, in reality, they are both counterfeit, modified or whatever else you want to call them?

Confederation Helvetia

Hi George! Jerry Peters told me you went to the MAX gun show and bought out the place. Good thing you went when you did, the place probably got blown away in the latest hurricane to hit that region.

So 'CH' means Confederation Helvetia. Does that mean that instead of a 'Y' proofmark for a Swiss yodel there should be a Stars and Bars on the frame?
