Almost As Sexy...!!!
 

Here's a very nice pistol made by a Swiss fellow named Hans Stamm around 1910...almost as sexy as a luger, IMHO...

Photos/diagram are from the Reinhart/Rhyn book on Swiss handguns...

Wonder if any Members are lucky enough to own one and could post some real photos...?

Pete:

The Germans refer to a pistol as: the "die" or a "eine" Pistole. They refer to it in the female gender, perhaps for good reason.

The above pistol is nice, but in a beauty contest with the Parabellum, it looks like an also ran to me.

I would like to submit another contestant though. The T-14 Nambu looks pretty good to me. Though this Asian beauty isn't as beautiful to look upon as its European counterpart, I like its design and function a lot better.
