I just received Alexander Stucki’s book on Swiss pistol trials 1882-1900 (he introduced the book in this thread: http://forum.lugerforum.com/showthre...t=Swiss&page=3). It is a wonderful book, rich in history, facts and beautiful photos. I wish my German was better as I would like to race through the pages absorbing every bit of it. Unfortunately, I am not that fluent so armed with my German/English dictionary and on-line translators I will enjoy it at a more leisurely pace.

I highly recommend this book, particularly if you can read German, but even if you have to work through it as I will, or enlist the help of a German (or Swiss!) friend, it is well worth while.
