Swill indeed...would you believe Swiss! I can't believe the seller hasn't corrected his spelling yet! It is a fairly early 1900 Swiss as evidenced by the Type II thumb safety and the last two digits of the serial number appearing on the right side of the takedown lever spindle. It looks like a nice piece and probably legitimate.

Ye Gods! That was a beauty! Appeared 'pristine' to me. I don't like the grip safety guns, but for that one I could have lived with it. But, not for that much money.
