As noted in the listing, these pistols are illustrated by Horst Rutsch in Faustfeuerwaffen der Eidgenossen, as belonging to a production run of 20 target pieces chambered in 7.65 Para, the rest of which have had their long barrels destroyed since then. These two came out of Rutsch's personal collection.
