This is a rare early Swiss contract Luger manufactured by the newly renamed Mauser factory in the early 1930s. These 1906/34 Mauser banner commercial contract Luger pistols were for sale inside Germany, also for foreign contracts and were made up of a combination of left over DWM factory parts along with newly manufactured Mauser parts. These Swiss contract Lugers can be found with both a blank chamber or with the "Swiss Cross in a Sunburst" as seen on this example. The serial number range for this model is between 1275v-1920v with a reported total production quantity of only about 645. This example has the short style barrel extension with the 1906 frame with coil spring and grip safety, fast taper barrel, first pattern polished lower safety area and no stock lug. It has the standard "Mauser Banner" on the front toggle, with "(crown)/(crown)/U" commercial proofmarks on the barrel extension and breech block. The matching serial number is located on the front of the frame and underside of the barrel, with the last two digits of the serial number stamped on the various components besides the unnumbered checkered walnut grips, front toggle, firing pin and magazine. This rare Swiss contract Luger is complete with one magazine that has a nickel finished aluminum body with an unmarked walnut base. Also included is a Swiss pattern brown leather flap holster with shoulder strap, with a Bern leatherworker's mark on the rear and a faint hand written name inside the flap.
