Hi, Pete:

Re: your list of Swiss guns, if you can acquire all of them in a reasonable amount of time, congratulations! Note that I didn't add "for a reasoanable amount of money," as nothing is "reasonable" about our hobby, I guess.

I can think of a couple of things that you might want to add to your list if you can find them and afford them:

1. An E-prefix s/n 1900 Swiss (mine is E-553)
2. A blank chamber 1906 Basel police
3. A commercial Luger marked "Germany" on the frame and one not marked "Germany" on the frame (maybe they're already on your list -- I didn't print it before writing this e-mail!).
4. A 9mm Waffenfabrik Bern (1906/24)
5. A 1906 Swiss/Abercrombie and Fitch

Save room also for the oddballs: cased guns issued as shooting prizes, long barrels, etc. -- and have fun!
