Vlim,

All of my re-intro Mausers seem to have the same Swiss style ramp, regardless of caliber or grip style. So I'm still not sure what I'm looking for. My serial numbers all seem to be out of your range anyway.

Ron,

It's not the windows but the bars. Over time they begin to yellow. As time goes on the yellow deepens and becomes brownish. Then the bars begin to crumble. Later K&Es seem to have a better grade of plastic that holds up longer. Not sure when the switchover happened. I have a number of examples of K&E cursor rot. BTW: Leather slide rule cases can corrode the hardware on the rule if it's stored in them, similar to storing a Luger in the holster, I thing a new friend at work has been guilty of.

GT,

I ain't dead, despite any rumors to the contrary. I switched jobs and went to work on the Ares replacement for the shuttle at the Marshal Space Flight Center in Alabama. Relocating has been a hassle. Been meaning to write.
