Waffenfabrik Bern Parabellum 06/29 bis

So after cleaning and checking my friend’s gun, I decided to get my own 06/29, but with the colourful red grips and mag bottom.

Those were produced for the Swiss army from 1933 to 1938 I believe. Thereafter W+F produced them with brown and then black plastic grips.

The material is canevasit, which is made of cotton fabric and phenolic resin.



















So I’ll have a double range session tomorrow
