Destroyed Swiss 1900

I believe what I have here is a military contract Swiss model of 1900. It is in our reference collection (I am a firearms examiner). The top of the chamber was polished down and when I hit it with a bit of acid to restore it I found the Swiss cross and "sunburst" pattern (see pictures). The grips have been turned into some sort of "target" style and for some unknown reason the front of the barrel has been turned down and the front sight removed. Very sad. Just thought some of you would like to see the torture first hand.
