I talked to an old W+F employee and he remembered this machine. Unfortunately he has no Idee, where it is gone. His guess was, to Mauser in the 1960's oder 1970's.

I recommend posting the drawings on this forum. I can think of a few members capable of reproducing this machine.

Thanks for the pictures, it is clear that the Swiss did some simplification to the milling/construction to streamline and make production more efficient.

Taking the original curves away does make it look a little like a Lathi though.

A marvelous acquisition, rare indeed. As I said before, well worth the 6 year wait.

They didn't want to sell it to Mauser because they still used it. That is why Mauser got the drawings and photos to construct their own version as required.
