Return of the Swiss

Got my Swiss receiver and barrel back from Ted ("Thor") yesterday...awesome work. He blued the barrel and receiver, perfectly matching the frame. This was the last stage in my Swiss rebuild/shooter project. Here's the end result. I didn't want to have a "new gun" look, but instead a pistol that looks well cared-for and well-used. I think this fills the bill. 7.65mm barrel bore is mint, a requirement I had for my shooter. I've posted photos of the gun in various stages of completion here in the restoration sub-forum if you're interested. Ted did some incredible work that makes my shooter look as good as it groups. I'm a happy guy!

Here's a "before" photo...DWM 9mm P08 receiver and barrel, worn stocks, etc.
