Manufactured early in production c. 1918-1921. 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 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 nickeled magazine with hardwood base with alloy inserts that is not numbered or proofed.

Excellent, retains 98% of the original blue finish and 90% plus of the original straw colors with some light edge wear and some scattered light spotting on the back strap and bottom of the barrel. The grips are also excellent with a few scattered light handling marks and otherwise crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
