Buyer Beware On This One...
 
Boy, what is wrong with this picture (or photos)...?


Advertised as a 1900 Swiss but has a whole bunch of "new model" features...asking is $ 3750.00...


The ad reads as...."Swiss model 1900 Bern 30 caliber $3750 Item# L8 see picture".

Pete, Without knowing the serial number, this does appear to be a M1906 DWM, Swiss military contract accepted by Capt. Vogelsang. Tom h.

It is just mislabeled. It is a long-frame 1906. Standard for 1906 Cross in Sunburst Swiss military. Tom has it pegged correctly. Not a bad looking piece, but still priced high considering the amount of wear. On the other hand, it is probably an honest gun that hasn't been "upgraded".

I Agree...1906...
 
Thanks, guys.


I did, too, think it was really a 1906...


I sent them an e-mail letting them know they might have a "typo" on their web-site.


Also asked them to let me know the serial number or partial; so I can see when it was made...


I also think the price is high...
