Very Good Condition

Matching Serial Numbers

9x19mm 

The SIG P210 is a legendary pistol that was carried by the Swiss Army starting in 1949. It utilizes a steel frame and is hammer-fired. The design of the pistol was inspired by Charles Peters Modelle 35. The P210 was designed to replace the Luger 06/29. Prototypes for the new pistol began a testing phase from 1942-1944. The P210 eventually was fully designed in 1947 and went into full production in 1949; as it was the new candidate for the Swiss Army service pistol. It featured an easy-to-change barrel system where the user could change the 9x19mm barrel out for a 7x21mm barrel or even a .22lr conversion. Serial numbers, with a P initial in front of the number, were made for police or private ownership. The Sig P210 was produced from 1949 until 2005. It was officially phased out by the SIG P220, a major reason for its replacement was cost. The parts were all hand lapped making each piece perfectly fit the pistol. This can justify just how smooth the P210 slide and action feel. This luxury would later be phased out for CNC machining as it was more cost and time-effective. The P210 is regarded as one of the most expensive service pistols to produce in military history. However, an interesting note is that the SIG P210 is still in service today. It is regarded as the most accurate 9mm pistol ever produced by many firearms enthusiasts. It utilizes a 4.7” barrel and can accept an eight-round detachable magazine. (Single action only).

This is a P series SIG pistol and was also made for the St. Gallen police department. We know this because the serial number has a P prefix and has a St Gallen engraving on the front of the slide. This SIG pistol was made by SIG Switzerland in 1969. This pistol is all matching serial numbers and even includes the original issue box that also has a matching serial number on it. The overall condition of this pistol is very good. This pistol comes equipped with rare wood grips the grips retain much of their original finish and do not have any major damage or blemishes. About ~80% of the original bluing finish is still intact. The slide is marked (SIG) and the frame is not marked by Waffenfabrik Bern so the slide and frame were made together at SIG Neuhausen. (See photos to view the condition of the pistol) The barrel looks great with a fantastic bore and very nice lands and grooves.
