*1906 SWISS BERN LUGER SEMI-AUTO PISTOL.

Revised: 9/22/2010

CORRECTION: The “P60” marking on the front of the trigger guard is not a refinish stamp as stated in the catalog. “P” means Private and “60” was the year it was sold. The gun was a private sale from the Swiss arsenal in 1960.

*1906 SWISS BERN LUGER SEMI-AUTO PISTOL. SN 22263. Cal. 30 Luger. Fine Swiss made Luger with 4-3/4″ tapered rnd bbl, barleycorn front sight and fixed rear sight integral with the toggle. Mounted with checkered walnut grip panels with distinctive uncheckered edges. Accompanied by a stainless body wood base magazine. Toggle link is marked “WAFFENFABRIK / BERN” surmounted by a small Geneva cross. Left side of receiver is marked with a small Geneva cross and “M” with the bbl and frame also marked with small Geneva crosses. Front of trigger guard is stamped “P60”. Accompanied by a typical brown leather clam shell Swiss holster with shoulder strap. Inside the flap is marked in red ink “Stamm”. Apparently when the Germans were no longer able to supply the Swiss with Luger pistols they began manufacturing their own under license from the Germans. This likely occurred in the 1918-1922 period and this model pistol is often referred to as the Model 1924 Berne. When these pistols were sold by the Swiss government they were virtually all arsenal restored and the “P60” number on the trigger guard is a refinish number. CONDITION: Extremely fine, all visible numbers matching including firing pin & grips. Magazine is not numbered. Overall retains 97-98% strong arsenal blue with only faint sharp edge wear. Grips are also extremely fine with only a very few lightly chipped diamonds and retain about all of their orig oil finish. Trigger, lock bolt, thumb safety & ejector retain most of their orig straw colors, somewhat thinned on face of trigger. Mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore with some minor scuffing in the grooves. Holster shows moderate handling & use with moderate soil. 4-40596 JR69 (2,500-4,000)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2010

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
