Four Major Swiss Luger Variations

Here is a picture of the four Swiss Lugers I have collected. They represent the four major variations of Swiss Lugers including the DWM M1900, the DWM M1900/06, the W+F Bern 1906 and the W+F Bern 06/29.

The M1900 is from the second batch delivered by DWM in 1904 to the Swiss assembled, and in the white. Mine has been rebarreled and has the upgraded W+F extractor. The rear sight has not been filed to a "U". It is the fourth variation, with narrow trigger and the ribbed safety lever. It is marked with the Swiss Cross in Sunburst, current at the time of delivery in 1904. It includes the lanyard strap.

The M1900/06 is from a 1909 delivery to the Swiss. It is from the second batch delivered. It is marked with the Swiss Cross in Shield which was current at the time of delivery. This Luger has the "U" shaped rear sight.

The M1906 manufactured by W+F at Bern It has the "U" shaped rear sight. This Luger was delivered in 1923. There is no Swiss cross on this variation, but it is marked WaffenFabrik Bern on the forward toggle.

The 06/29 was manufactured by W+F at Bern, one of 750 made in 1938. It has a partially marked "P" privatization stamp on the receiver left side, and a full one above the trigger guard. It is marked with the Swiss Cross within the Shield on the forward toggle. This Luger is remarkably tight, and probably has been fired very little.

The M1900 has a complete holster rig including the tool kit. It is a commercial unmarked holster. All of the tools are in the toolkit, and the grease pot is still full of grease in good condition.

The Swiss Lugers are remarkable in their precision, and in the maintenance they received over the years.
