A friend asked me to give a quick function check and cleaning for this Swiss Luger. It belongs to an elderly family member and had not seen the light of day in years. It’s a typical late production example, 1944 made in 7.65 mm parabellum (.30 Luger), not long before the Swiss army would transition to the SIG P49 (210) and the 9 mm cartridge

















It’s a bit simpler, cruder and less refined than the previous versions, but still a nice gun nevertheless. Here it is with my 1923 made 06/24





I’ll take it to the range this week

I must admit you have wonderful examples of fine weapons, makes me envious but admitting that I love the great pictures you share with us.

Nice piece of history.

You've preserved such a nice collection of Swiss arms, do you happen to have an army bicycle?

I always thought that the small parts would have a straw finish?
