This is a excellent example of a 06/24 Luger as produced in Switzerland at the Bern factory. These were the first true Swiss manufactured Lugers that were completely produced in the Bern factory for the Swiss Armed Forces. There were approximately 17,000 total produced starting with serial number 15,216 making this exact pistol the "13th" pistol produced under this military contract. These models were standard 1906 frame models produced as Switzerland transitioned to the later much simplified production in 1929 model. The top of the chamber area is blank and the rear toggle link is marked with the small Swiss cross over "WAFFENFABRIK/BERN". The left side of the barrel extension has the two small Swiss proofs that consist of a single Swiss cross/firing proof of the Federal Arms factory in Bern and the single small cross over the letter "M" control proof of Col Muhlemann. The left side of the breechblock also carries the small Swiss Cross firing proof. It has the standard 1906 features such as the polished lower safety area, no stock lug, grip safety and fast taper barrel in 7.65mm Luger. The pistol has the all rust blued metal finish with the straw colored small parts. The serial numbers are correctly marked in the commercial fashion with the main number located on the underside of the barrel and the front of the frame with the last three digits on the breechblock, take down lever, and recoil lug on the under side of the barrel extension. It has the original Swiss checkered walnut grips with the smooth border around the edges and it is complete with one nickel plated, wooden base Swiss magazine.

Excellent overall with 95% of the original finish with some slight blue loss on the front and rear grips straps and the grip safety, with minor edge and high spot wear on the front edges of the frame rails, the side plate hump and the left muzzle area. The grips are excellent with a nice dark brown matching color on both sides with sharp checkering overall with just a couple of minor nicks on the tops of the checkering in a couple of places. Mechanically excellent.
