The Swiss retained the wide grip of the 1900 model on their produced Lugers. It was also common practice to cut the rear sight into a 'U' as opposed to the 'V' as the standard rear sight. Above you can see the wide trigger guard and the concealed numbers of the small parts. This was the heyday of the craftsmanship on the Swiss Parabellums. Above Left: At the rear toggle the Swiss armourers are credited with rounding out the bottom of the 'V' rear sight for more accurate sight picture.

Above Right: While DWM was in the process of placing 'GESICHERT' (Secured/Safe) on the new model 1908 the Swiss opted, because of the three languages common in Switzerland, to remain with the buffed space under the thumb safety for their 'safe' signal. The grips are the fine diamond early DWM style with the last two digits of the serial number inside the grips. The serial number usually doesn't show up on commercial Parabellum but in this case someone, perhaps an armourer placed them there. The serial number is sequential for all the commercial Parabellum with five digits as opposed to four digits for the military models.

The magazine is the 'Swiss' version with metal blanks in the finger recess. There was no known explantation for these metal blanks other than it made the gun look really good. The most distinctive feature of these pistols is undoubtedly the toggle-lock mechanism, which holds the breech closed by locking in a manner not unlike the human knee, which can sustain a heavy weight when straight, but once bent is quite easy to continue to bend.

The toggle joint in its straight position resists the rearward force of the detonating cartridge, then 'buckles' after enough time has passed. When a round is fired the entire breech, barrel and toggle move straight rearward (on rails) until the toggle begins to ride up on a pair of cams that 'breaks' the toggle (makes it bend at the joint). Once the toggle joint is no longer straight, it bends freely, allowing the bolt to come rearward, and the striker to be cocked. The spent cartridge is extracted by a combination extractor/loaded chamber indicator on the top of the toggle, is ejected as the toggle nears the end of its rearward free travel, returning, and a new round is stripped from the magazine and chambered as the toggle is driven back to the straight position by a spring. The Swiss retained the wide trigger guard and the wider grip safety in the 1906 model.
