Post Upcoming Switzerland Auction...

http://www.kesslerauktionen.ch/

The pdf file takes a bit to download, but there are some nice luger photos on page 42 and other Swiss revolvers around pages 43-47...

Here are a couple of Swiss franc to US dollar conversions :

100.00 CHF
Switzerland Francs = 73.4505 USD
United States Dollars

1,000.00 CHF
Switzerland Francs = 734.505 USD
United States Dollars

Regards,

Pete...

Wow, there are some beauties there! There are 8 model 1900 Swiss, Most in excellent condtion. Two have the replacement reinforced extractors and one is reblued, but overall they are exceptional and most come with a holster and extra magazine. Most have the Type 3 safety, but there is one Type 2, and the cream of the crop is Serial #523 in virtually mint condtion with a Type 1 safety. Unfortunately it has been relieved for the high button magazine but still a great Luger that is estimated to go for 3000-6000 Swiss Francs. There is also an "A" suffix piece. It is a good thing you can't post drool on the forum.

P.S. Thanks for the link Pete. I really enjoyed it.

Actually, Ron, we need to thank LF member Panda for the link tip...

Holsters and books appear on this auction as well, so I thought all could benefit by watching the auction listings from time to time...

Regards,

I would be interested in financing and coordinating a group auction purchase, shipment, and import into the U.S. some choice Swiss ordnance and militaria to be auctioned on November 15, 2003, given enough interest from the assembled audience, and agreement on the terms and conditions of the transaction.
