Liked the picture and added some additional info to it...

Thanks,

Hi Guisan,

Great posting...sorry to have missed it when you posted...

One can only dream to own a Swiss revolver and a Swiss luger with the same serial numbers...:D

Guisan,
Like Pete, I don't know how I missed this, but it is now in my reference files. This is great instructional material. Thank you for using the forum to share it.

Ron these were made after 1918 and they are no reproductions ;)

I like the fact that the revolvers and pistols had the same serials and that they were both made at the same time by Waffenfabrik Bern.
To reduce the cost price these guns were made more simple and nevertheless the precision of the 06/29 was said to be the best of all Swiss military Lugers.

Thanks,
Guisan. :)

Guisan,

May I ask where the serial number ranges in terms of plastic color came from ?

Sure, I took the Rutsch, Heer and the Stocker series books for those, as well as a little of my own notes.

Thanks,
Guisan.

Thanks Guisan...now I can buy with confidence when a certain colored M1929 revolver shows up...

Have a Brown M1929 Swiss revolver in the 589xx range coming home this week...it comes with a very nice holster (no strap) as well.

This will be my 5th. Swiss revolver...I will post a "family portait" this weekend when all are cleaned up.

Still need to find a nice black M1929 and then the very rare M1882 bicycle corps. variant...(not too optimistic about that one in the near future...).

Pete looking foward to those photo's

The Swiss revolvers have a way of getting in the way of collecting Swiss lugers...

Wow, Pete. I didn't know that Swiss revolvers are descended from rabbits! What a great looking growing family!

Pete Great collection!!!!!! Bill

Thanks Guys...

I need to add two (2) more :

* A brown M1929 revolver...

* A M1882 bicycle corps. issue...brown plastic grips but a fixed, large landyard loop that does not swivel...

And...maybe a stocked/holster for the M1882's...

Seems like once ya start, ya gotta finish...:eek:

"GOD PETE" They sure look lovely

Nice little Museum there Pete!

You can't just have one of these. They look a little odd in a collection by themselves with other weapons around.

Latest addition to my Swiss revolver "family".

Pete, Good looking group. Are they all of the same caliber? and have you shot any of then, if so how do they shoot?

Hi Tim,

The four smaller revolvers are all in 7,5 mm and I had bought some reloaded ammo a while back and have shot 10-15 rounds through each just to make sure they work before they went into the safe. Very accurate and easy on the hand to shoot with a nice balance.

The larger M1878 is a bigger bore at 10,5 mm and I have not found any ammo to shoot through that one, yet.

If anyone is looking for a M1882 revolver holster with strap :

Collection grew by one over the Holidays. Picked up a missing holster shoulder strap as well. Those are tough to find...
