For $30,000 it can be all yours!......well, actually, $30,200, to be more exact...........plus import fees, etc. etc.

I was offered it for the very generous price of $29,800 but I had to let it pass, as it's not really my cup of tea.

I can't answer those questions, as I haven't handled either of the two “pistols”. I've only seen the “Magpie” in the pictures shown, although I've seen the “Helvetia” (post #1) from a very close distance, behind the glass of a display case.

I can only speculate that neither pistol can be legally used as a firearm, as the legally-required markings don't appear to be visible. If this were the case, then the pistols would have to be deactivated in some way, so perhaps the triggers serve a purely decorative purpose.

Many years back the original Pro Shop had a large number of Mastershop guns in every color and design.

My wife liked everything to be in green. They had one in a bright Kelly green that caught my wife's eye only because of the color. No interest in the gun. George Harris was trying to talk her into getting me to buy it for her. Didn't work although it would have been worth a lot more today that what I would have paid for it.

Could you show us a picture of a P 210 with a decocker?

If you have a P 210 with one I would hold on to it, if I were you. It's guaranteed to increase in value due to its extreme rarity. You might even find a collector who is prepared to pay you $30,000 for it, on account of its uniqueness.

I decock mine (if a round is chambered, then only if absolutely necessary) by pointing the pistol in a safe direction and grasping the hammer-spur very firmly with my thumb before pressing the trigger and guiding the hammer SLOWLY forwards. My preferred method would be to remove the magazine and eject the chambered cartridge before decocking as above.

I realise that I might have upset some of our more sensitive readers with the two “masterpiece” pictures, so, in order to make up for any distress caused, I would like to draw your attention to this eye-candy, from the website of swisswaffen.com.

As you can imagine, this particular P 210 can be had for a very reasonable price, even by Swiss standards:

A purely technical question in relation to pictures posted in this thread:

Why is it that some posts with pictures are wider than the norm and some (e.g. post #14) are not? I have to use the horizontal scroll-bar to read them. Other forums seem to automatically resize pictures and this effect doesn't occur.

Is there any way to edit the pictures before importing them to ensure that this doesn't happen? How do you know if you've got the size right?

Because of those modified triggers I was not interested in them. I prefer the classic line, but the mag catch leaf spring is not gold plated (joking)! The firing module pops out (no screw) and the gun was cheap. It is also a "Swiss Canton" gun, like the Lucerne. The "La Gazza Ladra" was a prize from a gun magazine, a single piece was made. One needs to like Italian Opera to understand....
The Ticino has granite inserts, because that is like the US "Granite State" celebrated on the 1 million P320. ONLY, the granite on the US gun is in fact from Ticino, Swiss.
