Swiss Parabellum parts compatibility...

Guisan, thanks.

Quite helpful. I'm looking at the technical differences between the Swiss versions and the post war Mauser Parabellum, so this is quite handy.

What additional research has shown is that the Swiss 06/29 has a number of perculiarities that makes large parts of it incompatible with the earlier 1906 models. For some obscure reason, the Swiss have modified the shape of the grip frame ears, so that additional modification of the barrel/receiver combo was needed and that the modification also effectively blocked the possibility of easily changing the calibre from 7,65 to 9mm on the later Swiss 02/29 models.

Something that was built into the design of the normal 1906 pattern was replaced by a solution that created more problems than it solved. I wonder why...
