What happened to all the Swiss 1882 Revolvers?

[Skans]

It used to be that the Swiss 1882 pistols were generally available, both with the Bakelite grips as well as with the later wood grips. I did a quick check on Gunbroker, and the two that I found are over $1,200 (asking, no bids), and none with the Bakelite grips. I have one, but was thinking of possibly adding another if I could find them "cheap" - under $400. Those days must be long gone, I suppose. I must have been snoozing?

Those days are long gone on lot's of stuff. I snoozed on some things as well. Once upon a time you couldn't walk around the corner without tripping on a cheap Lee enfield. Nagant revolvers were like 65 bucks. None of the above are true now, unfortunately. Now I have to look into said swiss pistol, I have no experience with them. Darn you Skans, feeding my habit and whatnot.

I think it was about 10 years ago now I sold my 1916 BSA Lee Enfield for 175.00 with two bayonets. I wish I had it now.
