After the delivery of the last of the contracted DWM Model 1900 Luger pistols in 1906, Switzerland requested further pistols only to be informed by DWM that the Model 1900 had been made obsolete by further upgrade to the design, to include a coiled main spring, improved extractor with loaded chamber indicator, non-dished toggles, a reinforced firing pin, and improved trigger. These upgrades were incorporated into the design of the next batch of Swiss contract Lugers, resulting in the Model 1906. Features fixed blade front and notch rear sights, Swiss police "cross in shield" crest over the chamber, "DWM" monogram on the front toggle, "GELADEN" marked extractor, grip safety, no stock lug, and fast taper barrel. The left of the barrel and extension are marked with Swiss "cross" proofs, along with an additional "cross/V" proof on the extension. Matching serial numbers on the barrel and frame, along with matching "179" partials on the extension and rear toggle, along with "79" partials on the side plate, trigger, front toggle, and breech block. Fitted with matching checkered walnut grips numbered "179" on the interior. The nickel finished magazine is fitted with an metal disc insert hardwood base.

Very fine overall, retaining 99% arsenal refurbished blue finish and 90% straw colors with light edge wear, faint thinning on the grip frame, and crisp grip checkering. Mechanically excellent.
