I have a first year issue Sig P 210-1 (P49 in Swiss army nomenclature), so made in 1949, serial number A 101811 (serial numbers started at A 100001)
When I saw an ad for the civilian version of that very same gun, as new condition, I couldn’t resist and had to have it. Made in 1950 or 51, serial P 51624 (serial numbers started at P 50001)
With its army twin
Then the same thing happened with a nice civilian P 210-2, twin to the 1954 army one I’ve had for over 25 years
With the army twin
Some may not see the point, the army and civilian guns are virtually identical except for the serial number and one marking.
But that’s what collecting is about I guess
