Synopsis:

SIG Sauer P220, Swiss Police, Early, Boxed, G112496, I-1242

Description:

One of the earliest SIG Sauer P220s, this example with folded slide, assembled in Switzerland. Standard white highlighted front and rear sights. The left side of the slide is marked with a large eagle within a shield, wings outstretched, as used by the police of Neuchatel. The right side of the slide is marked to reflect assembly in Switzerland. Matching serial numbers on the barrel, slide and frame. Checkered black plastic grips. Correct SIG Sauer magazines with 8 indicator holes, a zippered spine, and a detachable floorplate. Correct blue shipping box.

Condition:

VG+ with sharp edge wear and thinning as one might expect from a service pistol that has seen light-moderate use. Surprisingly little wear to the anodized frame. Near excellent grips and VG+ magazines. Bright bore with sharp rifling. Perfect manual mechanics. An extremely interesting and unusual early SIG P220 with police markings and an unusual guard for the magazine release as used by the border patrol.
