Manufactured in Switzerland at the Bern factory, this 1906/24 Luger falls in the range of 15,216 - 33,089, with this one fitted with a "fat" 9mm barrel with a conjoined "BP" stamp, in lieu of the traditional "pencil" profile 7.65mm barrel. These can be easily identified by the 1906 style grip safety, no stock lug, polished lower safety area. It has the blank chamber area with front toggle marked with the small "Swiss cross/WAFFENFABRIK/BERN". The various parts are correctly stamped with the small "Swiss Cross" firing proof with a single small "Swiss Cross/M" control proof of Col. Muhlemann on the barrel extension and underside of the barrel. It is fitted with the Swiss profile checkered grips with the smooth border around the edges and a nickel finished magazine with a wooden base hand-stamped to match the pistol. Some experts have referred to this Luger as a prototype or experimental as it is in 9 mm versus the standard 7.65 mm.

Very fine as Swiss arsenal refurbished, showing 95% plus blue, with some bright edge wear and mild handling marks. A gray patina is forming on the trigger, takedown latch and safety, with the rest of the small parts showing a vivid straw finish. The grips are fine, with some light dings. Mechanically excellent.
