Gentlemen,
Thanks for the prompt response and informative comments. I can add that the original owner was a ballistic experimenter and had many wildcat cartridges. It could be that he was also talented enough to do these barrels.
The chambers ae tight indicating a new reamer and are well finished. Can't say the same about the crowns or sight pillars. There are noticeable jaws marks on both barrels.
I will provide closeups in the near future as the condition prompted me to do an Ed's Red soak and tooth brush of the whole thing and that will take a few days to get them clean. The some 0000 Steel wool with Blue Wonder.
The fact is that I do have a decent base with a matching Swiss Frame and Receiver. The frame needs a lock and sideplate and probably a safety switch. The Swiss receiver needs a sear assy, and extractor and toggle along with a barrel. Might as well make it a 9mm while I am at it. The big question then is finding the correct parts and a restorer? Does this make sense?
Anything on the serialization of the Swiss gun?
Thanks again for all of your kind and generous time in helping me out.
