Switch to Jan's forum and take a look at what some poor guy in Virginia inherited from his grandfather in Switzerland...

Don't you hate it when you inherit a box full of cr*p...???

Congrats to rimfire! Unless my eyes deceive me, the serial number on the third pistol from the left in this photo is the single digit [SIZE=8 ]4[/SIZE]

Pete, can you tell what model that is?

(Same question asked on the other board, but I would see it here first...)

John,
The only photo I see with this link is a side view of the 6 Lugers, with the numbers not visible. It is unlikely that the third pistol from the left in the top row has a single digit serial number since it is an '06 Waffenfabrik Bern, whose serial numbers started at 15216 where the former DWM contract '06s left off. I think what you are seeing is a blurred image of the Swiss Federal Cross proof on the side of the receiver.

Ron.

This is the mark I am speaking of:

I guess it could be a Swiss flag stamp, but it also looks like a "4" for those of us who are clueless about Swiss stamps...

I bow to your expertise on this matter... thanks.

I think that is an acceptence stamp.

George, based on the amount of email I have been receiving, I would have to concur with you
