Hello
I'd like to share with you 2 pictures of Swiss DWM 06-24 found at the Imperial War Museum in London.
What a surprise for a me to find a swiss gun there, because my country didn't participe to a battle during WWII.
Apparently this gun was howned for his own protection by a British spy living in Switzerland during the war.
On the left you can see a radio and on the right a typping machine.

I appoligize for the picture quality took trough the windows.

Hi Frederic,

The photos are fine. One of my dreams is to one day visit the War Museum. It is interesting that a Swiss Luger would be found there.
