This is a beautiful example of a very early production Model 1900 DWM Swiss Contract Luger with the relieved frame. These Lugers represent the very first commercial Luger contract pistols that were sold by the DWM factory and were purchased by Switzerland. This pistol has the early dished toggles with toggle lock, a flat/recessed breech bolt, no stock lug, grip safety, early style, larger flat safety lever with coarse checkering, early narrow trigger, flat mainsprings and fast taper barrel that is 4 3/4 inches long. This pistol also has the "Swiss Cross" in a sunburst on top of the chamber area with toggle marked "DWM". The barrel extension has the "Swiss Cross/V" acceptance proof for Herr Vogelsang, the factory inspector. The top and back side of the rear toggle and 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 (855) of the pistol, and the various small parts all are correctly numbered with the last two digits (55) of the serial number, to include the back sides of each grip panel. This beautiful Swiss Luger pistol is complete with an original Swiss nickel-plated magazine body with unmarked wooden base with the small circular discs inset into each side of the base and an original 1900 Swiss leather holster and shoulder strap.
