Bobba says of W+F SN 100000: "In the '80s, when the machines which had not been sold had been stockpiled for years, the W+F gave up all the spare parts for Parabellums still lying in the factory to armourers and spare parts agents. Only the pieces necessary to assemble a specimen, obviously of the Mod 06/29, which was given the number «100000» were kept. This weapon is still in the Waffenfabrik Bern today, even though it is not catalogued in the Eidgenössische Waffensammlung and several fakes are known in Switzerland itself. This weapon has no particularity outside its serial number, and was made only with the aim of determining exactly when the last Swiss Parabellum was constructed."
