from my ex French- and geography teacher. Today it should be nearer to 200 000 than to 100 000 rounds through
...still shooting...better than I'll ever can. 

2. Only a training target from +/- 1995/96, the "bigger 2 holes" between 3 / 4 o'clock are from a 9mm  (SIG  P 210
"just borrowed out "from a friend). But then I had much younger (=better) eyes, was -at least- 2 or 3 times/week on
the shooting range and had a good right shoulder...

3. Trying out some (reading-)glasses...

4. The 208 S once was offered to me for 150,- * .
It's now my wife's 😉

* I payed 900,- DM (a fair price in 1979) for the 208. So -inflation & interests aside- after shooting
the pistol for (now a bit over) 40 years  =  22,50 DM/ year = 1,88 DM/ month 😊
The old Hammerli 208 is a classic among classics.
