Swiss craftsmanship

I blame my nephew for this. He brought this to my attention. I gave in! Striker fired pistols seem to be all the rage. It has a "P" stamp so it appears it was "privatized" at some time in its history. Everything matches. The bore is excellent. Alas, of all the obsolete cartridges on hand 7.65 Parabellum is not one of them.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

One of the Swiss icon

Lugers? I've never held one. Very nice example and I'd love to try it out. I had a smack of ammo come to hand years ago and yes...that cartridge was there in quantity, about a box and a half. Long gone now because I had no use.

I think my fascination with all things Swiss icon

began with Ursala Andress coming out of the ocean in Dr. No.

I remember that, with her '37 pattern color party belt.

All the usual suspects seem to have some, AIM, Sarco, Cabela's, Classic, etc, but to me, Simpsons seems to have the nicest pictures and most accurate descriptions. Professional transaction and fair.

I love to look through their stuff even though I can't have it.

Very nice Luger! I love my 1906 Swiss icon

, though it was German icon

made. Impressive guns which I can only imagine how difficult it was to get the mass production right on.

I remember back in the Fifties growing up in Cleveland, my uncle in Toronto would order stuff from Klein's Sporting Goods in Chicago and have it sent to our house. We would hold it until he came to visit.

Those were sure the days. Get across to Detroit on a birth certificate and just your say so and good will. No problems. The guards might want to see the gun you bought because they were gun guys...
