I won several of the long Swissicon rifles and a K31 at an auction the other day. One of the long ones was this P series 1911. I do not know what is up with the bluing. These are the auction pics.

The stock has a little different profile than the usual 1911 stock. Is that the way the "P" series came, or is that an owner customized?

Silver scroll plaque to right cheekpiece marked ''E. Merz, Bern''. Guisan advises that this rifle was sold by H.Schwarz Waffen Bern. Hans August Schwarz was a gun smith in Bern from 1873 till he died in 1945. Guisan also graciously provided some contact information for the Merz family in Bern
