Re: 1900 Swiss
On the 1900 Swiss; do you have access to the Parabellum book by Bobba? That tells a lot about the guns; sounds as though you might.
I have a minty 1900 Commercial Swiss (except for one ding on the trigger guard)with like new period holster. I had it on the market for $5,000 and had interest but I did not get a sale.
The little booklet by Aaron Davis has values for Commercials up to $10,000 and for Military guns up to $5,000. In my view those are fantasy values. Have you checked Simpsom Ltd. and Shattuck's site?
Bobba's book and also a monograph by Datig talk about some guns being shipped in the white to Switzerland. I have been given to understand that as a matter of course Swiss gun owners have their guns refinished from time to time.
Hopefully, more knowledgeable folks will chip in also.
