Time for a little more info. The Danish Special Forces are (proud to say) considered VERY skilled by our NATO allied. Also proud to say that the general in charge is my personal friend. Any way our Special Forces haven't used the 210 for many years but they used to. One of their main complains was the safety (I hate it myself). Among other things it is extremely hard to operate when wearing gloves. A customized safety was designed by the Army Materiel Comand and produced in Denmark. | |||

Thanks, that would be great. I have an old article on early SIG developments in exchange. It's in German though. Let me know if you are interested. | |||

My German is ok for speaking but terrible for reading, so I guess I'll have to pass. I almost forgot you today, since I started on sewing a shoulder holster, but the article have been send a few minutes ago. Let me know if you got it. How to spend a day off work: | |||

Would you be able to post a picture of it? I was lucky enough to pick up an affordable Danish surplus 210. Not pretty to look at but it shoots well. | |||

Lucky you I can't even own or buy one. Get it re-blued and it will be as new. Is it the blued or Parkerraised (excuse my English) version | |||

Interesting, I was wondering if it was more like the German "super-target" safety that extends to the rear of the grip. It is a matte black phosphate (parkerized) that isn't worn, just not as pretty as commercial variants. It's a HTK marked serial number 842x. | |||

HTK means Army Techinal Corps. The department that is in charge of material have frequently changed name so you'll see HTK, FMT and HMAK (today, after the SIG buying FMT). HTK serial number 0001-16607 are Danish first early pistols from 1948-52. Probably (almost sure) blued but at some point parkerized by the Danish army (we do not blue only parkerize). Most pistols from our army did not fire very many shots (except the two i ware out). You should defenetly get it reblued. You won't ruin anything since it 99,9% was blued from the factory. | |||

Make it 100%. Parkerized m/49 pistols have been refinished in an Danish arsenal. | |||

And the reason was, among other things, that blueing was considered more hazard (un-healthy for the workers).This message has been edited. Last edited by: Dane, | |||

well, I'm 100% Swiss. It's probably the blood-thinner from Vesterbro... but if Switzerland would expatriate me, I would go to Denmark. | |||

Sig did not directly buy the Petters patents. Sig had delivered sharpening/grinding machines for the barrel cutting tools to France and they were not paid before the war. When the situation with war and the Germans got worse and payment difficult, the French sent the Petter parts and models to SIG as compensation for payment. And yes, SIG was not interested and laid it aside til 1942 and the interest in a new pistol for the Swiss Army. After the war, Charles Petter was for many years fighting for compensation/licence fees for the use of his patents, so far witout success. Regards collector | |||
