This is a rare early Swiss contract Luger manufactured by the newly renamed Mauser factory in the early 1930s. These 1906/34 Mauser banner commercial contract Luger pistols were for sale inside Germany, also for foreign contracts and were made up of a combination of left over DWM factory parts along with newly manufactured Mauser parts. These Swiss contract Lugers can be found with both a blank chamber or with the "Swiss Cross in a Sunburst" as seen on this example. The serial number range for this model is between 1275v-1920v with a reported total production quantity of only about 645. This example has the short style barrel extension with the 1906 frame with coil spring and grip safety, fast taper barrel, first pattern polished lower safety area and no stock lug. It has the standard "Mauser Banner" on the front toggle, with "(crown)/(crown)/U" commercial proofmarks on the barrel extension and breech block. The matching serial number is located on the front of the frame and underside of the barrel, with the last two digits of the serial number stamped on the various components besides the unnumbered checkered walnut grips, front toggle, firing pin and magazine. This rare Swiss contract Luger is complete with one magazine that has a nickel finished aluminum body with an unmarked walnut base. Also included is a Swiss pattern brown leather flap holster with two shoulder straps, with a Bern leatherworker's mark on the rear and a faint hand written name inside the flap.

Very fine, retaining 75% original blue finish on frame and barrel extension with some areas of artificial gray patina visible on the grip straps, arsenal refinish on replacement barrel, and sharp markings and edges in the metal overall. 95% arsenal refurbished straw colors visible on the small parts. Grips are very fine with a few minor handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. Included leather holster is fine with very light edge wear.
