M1929 Swiss Bern Magazine Question...?

Pete,

I just spoke to a retired armourer who used to work at Paillard in the 50ies. He confirmed that the mags were produced there. In those days, when the Swiss industry had a shortage of work, it had the possibility to do work for the government and this is what happened. Paillard produced these mags because it had not enough work and asked for work from the government.
