This is one of 17,874 Model 1906 pistols manufactured by Waffenfabrik Bern due to DWM being unable to fulfill Swiss orders after the outbreak of World War I. The front toggle link is marked "+/WAFFENFABRIK/BERN", "+/M" inspector Muhlemann proof on the left of the barrel extension, and "+" stamps on various other components. The left frame rail is stamped "P 60", indicating that the pistol was privately sold out of government stores in 1960. The left side of the extractor is marked "GELADEN" and the lower thumb safety area is polished. Visible numbers are matching throughout, including on the inside of each grip and the left side of the grip safety under the grip. It is fitted with blade and V-notch sights, original flat checkered grips with non-checkered borders, and a correct pattern nickeled magazine with hardwood base that is correctly not numbered or proofed. Includes a walnut stand. Provenance: The Klaus Meyer Collection

Exceptionally fine, retains 95% plus of the arsenal refurbished blue finish and 90% plus of the straw colors with some light high spot/edge wear and a few scattered light handling marks. The grips are also excellent with a minor flat spot in the checkering of the left panel and otherwise crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
