Hi George... I was able to make out the name on my tag and with a little help from a guy on the SWISS RIFLE MESSAGE BOARD I was able to get the address of (hopefully) the original owner of my rifle.Today I sent out a letter to him. I was provided a SAMPLE letter where all I had to do was insert my name and the SERIAL NUMBER of the rifle. I sent 1 letter in Germanicon and 1 in English with some photos of the rifle along with a photo copy of the ID TAG and my home address and email so I can hopefully get a reply. I will give an update if I hear back from him. Mike

Apparently, Swissicon gentlemen do not stray too far from their homes and in many cases, this helps to find them easily. In my case, the soldier was eager to provide me with his service record and was amazed to discover that his rifle which he possessed for it's entire service life strayed so far from its original home. Good luck on your search!
