    Hi.
    Can you help me to identify and value this Luger? I know it's Swiss and 7.65 caliber. Commercial or Military ?
    All its parts have the same number and blue in 50/60%.


    I used the Google translator. I am from south America.
    Sorry.

    Not my area of expertise but this link should help. Based on what I read, these proof marks (I'm not sure I can see them to well) were used on the German commercial model 1900 and 1906 barrels

    Pistole Parabellum

    Hopefully others will be around to provide better information.

    The pistol itself looks a bit salty with pitting. And the "blueing" on the barrel in the close up photos looks almost like paint.

    Here is a link with many model 1900's with Swiss markings.

    The crowned B and U and G signify that this is a Commercial piece and not Military. The serial number looks to indicate that this is aged from about 1900 to 1908 with the lower number being closer to the 1900 date. The finish on it, however, is Extremely rough and I am afraid that I would not even attempt to fire it. Swiss Lugers are pretty collectable and bring respectable prices, but the condition this one is in would make me pass on it.

    The picture looks worse than it is. Has recently fired without problem. Thanks for the help.
