Hi,

I am offered a Bern Luger with serial number 629XX
What is the manufacturing date?

Gun looks very good. I have one little concern.
There is a tight spot midways when trying to **** and/or remove the toggle

Thanks
Ron

Should I answer back, about 19xx

Actually I do not know Swiss, however, the book by Goertz and Sturegess says that yours was made prior to 1946

Ron, check your rails on the barrel extension for straightness issues, or twists.

Should be 1941. Look for the date stamped in the pocket of the frame where the takedown lever is located.
