When we asked about the 1906 we found that the store owner actually had 3 of them, all at the same price (105CHF) so we were allowed to choose, we chose the one with the most interesting serial number although not the best finish. (another mystery, the serial is higher than the highest T series listed, T261.), which we decided to buy, and with it a 1906 we had seen on display. However, I was unhappy with the GP35, I wanted one that was made close to 1967, her year of birth, and this one was 1974. For her 50th Birthday recently I bought her a GP35 as our first Belgian firearm and it seems to have started something! A word on Swiss gun law, you have to have a permis d'acquisition from the police to buy a weapon, but it actually gives you the right to buy 3! Naturally, since it costs 50CHF, you try to fill it, so we also picked up an FN model 1910 with holster (ex Valais Police I suspect) with the GP35. We have been shooting here for sometime but had no Belgian guns in the collection, Swiss, American, and English. My partner and I live in Switzerland, although she is Belgian and I am English. Firstly, thanks for the source of so much information, keep up the good work!
