new swiss variation

R.Allara · 09-04-2003, 05:39 PM

Just about markings: did you know that there is a new variation of Swiss mod. 1900 Parabellum? All the items I've seen before the serial number 96 do not have the Major Vogelsang approuval marking. So this is a new variation, before the first one known. I'll propose to call it "base model" because this will not affect the established name of swiss variations. Do anybody agree with me? Sorry, my English is poor

I can extend the range of serial numbers of this "variation". I have a 1900 Swiss serial number 109 that has the Type I safety, unrelieved frame with flat button magazine, and only bears the small Swiss federal cross proof on the barrel and left side of the receiver. There is no Major Vogelsang inspection mark. It is not a commercial model as it is not BUG proof marked.
