Swiss alphabet commercial

Greetings,

I have had this Luger for a couple of years now and have wanted to share it with the forum members for sometime. Seems every time I sit down to make some sort of a presentation, something gets in the way. So now at 1:00 AM I have decided to show off one of my prize Lugers.
This is a seldom seen Swiss alphabet commercial with a 3 3/4 inch 7.65mm barrel, a grip safety and a "Cross in Sunburst" chamber marking. This Luger is in pristine condition. It is a bit unusual to have the grips and the hold open numbered on a commercial Luger, but they are numbered to the gun as is all the other numbers. According to Mr.Still in his book "Weimar Lugers", he states that these Swiss found in the "i" block are few reported and few manufactured. If you take a look at Dwights commercial data, you will see that this Luger is one of first in the "i" block. It is the same run as the very rare Abercrombie & Fitch model. Here are a few photos,
Mike
