DWM 1900/06 Swiss commercial "long frame"

Sergio Natali · 09-16-2013, 02:49 PM

Just a very quick question: do we know the estimated procurement of DWM 1900/06 Commmercials with "long frame"? Somewhere I've read it was 5000, is it correct? Are they "really" so rare?

All Model 1900 DWM Commercials were long frame as were early Model 1906...so considerably more than 5000. All Swiss Commercials, DWM and Waffenfabrik Bern, were long frame. Not rare at all.

Thanks a lot RON, but unless I've misunderstood, I've been told that
"DWM 1906 Commercials with long frame"
are among the most scarce Swiss Lugers.
Can you confirm that? Do we have more or less an idea of how many of them were produced?
I've found one here in Turin, in very good conditions, but probably they ask a bit too much for it
(Euro 6500,00)
