Swiss Lugers

Pete Ebbink · 12-23-2006, 02:16 PM

For some of the LF Members that collect Swiss luger, here is a Poll that will allow you to indicate which Swiss lugers are in your collections.

Participation in the Poll is strictly voluntary.

So if you choose to participate, let us know what Swiss lugers you own.

Pete, I'd like to add; "Do not own any Swiss Lugers".

The reason is that until you vote (it sees your IP address), I beleive it will not let you see the results...

Hi Ed,

Please add, as you suggested...I had 20 entries already...can you make that # 21 ???

I am surprised to see the '24 Berns running ahead of the pack a bit. Maybe because their price is usually a bit lower than the DWM-Swiss lugers ???

Or maybe folks want a "Bern" as they want to collect a luger of each historical manufacturer ???

Pete, I was surprised how many folks own a Swiss. Guess I need to get on board sometime

Pete Ebbink · 01-12-2007, 06:04 PM

Ed,

20 Members responded...but if you subtract the 5 that do not own Swiss lugers and the 2 that said they own some but do not want to indicate what they have,...then you have 13 Swiss collectors that replied.

With 61 entries reported amongst the 13 collectors, that is 4.6 Swiss luger types per collector...

I guess the Swiss luger is habit-forming...

Walter,

Here is the Swiss luger poll...I brought it up to the "top" of the discussions listing.

This will also give you some idea about the many Swiss lugers one can consider building a collection around. Hope it helps.

I had previously responded to this poll, so it won't let me in again. Since that time, I acquired an 06/24 Bern, "short" island. So add one more to the poll. Thanks, Brownie.
