This is a beautiful example of an all original and very early production Model 1900 DWM Swiss Contract Luger. This is one of only 2,000 Model 1900 Swiss commercial Lugers manufactured, with this specific pistol being a fairly early production example. This early Swiss Luger was manufactured in one of the very first commercial contracts that were sold by the DWM factory. This early contract formed a bond between the DWM factory and Switzerland that lasted for the next 40 years. These early model 1900 Lugers have the early desirable features such as the early dished toggles with toggle lock, a flat/recessed breech bolt, early flat extractor, no stock lug, grip safety, early style larger flat safety lever with coarse checkering, early narrow trigger, flat mainspring and fast taper barrel that is 4 3/4 inches long. The top of the chamber area is stamped with the "Swiss Cross" in a Sunburst with "DWM "on the front toggle. The barrel extension has the "Swiss Cross/V" acceptance proof for "Herr Vogelsang" the Swiss inspector who was assigned to the DWM factory. The top and backside of the rear toggle, and the left side of the barrel all have the small Swiss Cross firing proof. This example still retains the original unmodified, early "V" notch rear sight. The front of the frame and underside of the barrel have the full serial number (778) of the pistol and the various small parts all are correctly numbered with the last two digits (78) of the serial number, to include the backsides of each grip panel. This early Swiss Luger pistol is complete with a correct Swiss style magazine that has the nickel plated magazine body, and unmarked wooden base with the small circular discs inset into each side of the base.

Excellent overall with 90% of the blue finish with edge, high spot and muzzle wear with some spotting on the grip straps. The grips are very fine with distinct checkering on both sides. This desirable early Swiss Luger has matching numbers on the various parts except the magazine as noted.
