The pdf file takes a bit to download, but there are some nice luger photos on page 42 and other Swiss revolvers around pages 43-47...

Here are a couple of Swiss franc to US dollar conversions :

100.00 CHF
Switzerland Francs = 73.4505 USD
United States Dollars

1,000.00 CHF
Switzerland Francs = 734.505 USD
United States Dollars

Regards,

Pete...

Wow, there are some beauties there! There are 8 model 1900 Swiss, Most in excellent condtion. Two have the replacement reinforced extractors and one is reblued, but overall they are exceptional and most come with a holster and extra magazine. Most have the Type 3 safety, but there is one Type 2, and the cream of the crop is Serial #523 in virtually mint condtion with a Type 1 safety. Unfortunately it has been relieved for the high button magazine but still a great Luger that is estimated to go for 3000-6000 Swiss Francs. There is also an "A" suffix piece. It is a good thing you can't post drool on the forum.

P.S. Thanks for the link Pete. I really enjoyed it.

Actually, Ron, we need to thank LF member Panda for the link tip...

Holsters and books appear on this auction as well, so I thought all could benefit by watching the auction listings from time to time...
