PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Schmidt M1929 Swiss Ordnance Revolver w/ Various Grips ( See extended description ) 7.5 calliber, 6 shot revolver, manufactured in Switzerland by Waffenfabrik Bern - Various Grips - First a little history... The Swiss M1929 is a progression of the Swiss 1882 Revolver. The Schmidt M1882 was fabricated in Switzerland by the Waffenfabrik Bern and was used as an ordnance arm by the Swiss Army. Another design by Colonel Rudolph Schmidt, of Schmidt-Rubin fame, the revolver was designed around the 7.5 caliber round. The 1882 was a simple and effective design, with some examples remaining in service until 1964. The original Model 1882 was so popular with the Swiss military that they continued it’s use for many years even after the Swiss Lugers had come into service. The Model 1882 had the advantages of being easy to load and operate, they were easy to field strip and they were inexpensive. However, by the end of the 1920s, many 1882 revolvers had reached the end of their service lives. As a result, steps were taken to upgrade the design which ultimately resulted in the Swiss  M1929. The Model 1929 is a simplified version of the model 1882. Most changes were made to help ease production and to make it less expensive. One can distinguish a model 1929 by its round barrel as opposed to the 1882's octagonal one. The grip was widened to make it more ergonomic and higher quality steel used.These are extremely well made exhibiting the exacting standards you have come to expect from Swiss firearms. We also know that they are rare and highly collectible... especially in this condition .... this is a really nice, clean, small lot of guns.  Surplus of this quality is getting harder and harder to find. We only have a very small quantity so you may not want to hesitate.
