Description:

The pistol 1900/06 W+F is, probably rather erroneously, also called "pistol 06/24". The production at W+F in Bern started already in 1918 and so the designation 06/18 would actually be more appropriate.   The Pistole 1900/06 W+F (Pistole 06/24) was produced by the Swiss Federal Arms Factory in Bern (W+F), as Germany was no longer able to produce and supply weapons to third countries during and after World War I. W+F was busy from 1914 to 1918 designing and manufacturing machines that could produce the parts of the pistol 1906. In 1918 and 1919 the first pistols were delivered by W+F. The Pistole 1900/06 W+F (Pistole 06/24) is identical in construction with the Pistole 1900/06 from DWM production. It has the inscription "Waffenfabrik Bern" on the breech. From November 1918 to May 1933 a total of 17,874 pistols of type Pistole 1900/06 W+F (Pistole 06/24) (numbers 15,216 to 33,089) were produced and delivered.   During the production period a reinforced side plate was installed. According to various sources, this is said to have been done from 1928 (serial number 27'501). However, this information is not secured!   In original condition the Pistole 1900/06 W+F (Pistole 06/24) has a V-blade rear sight. Unfortunately, this was partially modified to a U-blade rear sight by grinding and/or filing. Since the rear sight is an integral part of the rear joint, it cannot be replaced.   Also important to know is that the guns have been brush-blued. Below the lower position of the safety lever, the guns must be bright. If they are not bright, the gun was subsequently re (dip) blued. This is often done to supposedly increase the value.   Checklist at purchase: - is the original V-blade rear sight available (or has it been filed down to a U rear sight)? - is the area under the safety lever blank (if it is blued, the weapon was reworked)? - are all parts identical in number? - are the magazines present (2 pieces) and do they have a wooden base? - is the holster present? - is it the correct holster with approximately the same year as the pistol? - is the condition good and honest?
