Swiss Revolvers...

Pete Ebbink · 09-25-2005, 01:25 AM

Hi Doc,

The top two (M1882's) I got directly from Switzerland...they are considered antiques and so were shipped to me direct without going through customs or any paperwork. These two also have a "P" prefix...which makes them commercial pieces. The red M1929 revolver is an Ordnance piece.

The red M1929 revolver I just got in from Ken at FGS...

I only have the one holster you saw at Reno a while back...figured that was enough.

There is one more M1882 revolver rare as heck...with wooden grips but with a large, fixed (i.e. non-swiveling) lanyard ring at the bottom...used to bicycle troops. Then there is a brown plasric M1929 revolver and a black plastic M1929 revolver...following the same plastic color transition as the M1929 Bern lugers...

So I guess I need four (4) more revolvers...will it never end...?

p.s. The following little message from a previous owner was rolled up tightly and hidden underneath one of the red plastic grips. All this handwriting was done on a little piece of paper only 3/4" tall and 4" long.

Any help with the translation would be most appreciated...
