I pounced on it as soon as the email hit my inbox Friday afternoon.
Got a shipment confirmation this morning.
Still would like to know where these guns were in service.
Wikipedia mentions that the Swiss used the Model 39.

In "A Scandal In Bohemia" Sherlock Holmes mentioned that the Bohemian Federal Police carried 39's. On wait, no he didn't, I just like to say Bohemia.

The Swiss used them? Over the P210?! Now that's saying something!
Picked up the Model 39 today.
Looks like it will make a good shooter.
No safe-queen here.
Please excuse the fuzzy pics, and the fuzz IN the pics.

Turns out its actually a Model 39-2
.
.
.
Always a good decision.

Re-import mark.
Have no idea who these guys are.

The ugly (note damage to lanyard loop)
The ugly (worn grip – worn wood would have looked so much better than worn rubber).
.
.
.
Grip screws need some serious attention – mag catch looks like it made it unscathed.
.
.
.
Business end looks good.
(couldn't get the camera in the bore – but the bore is ship-shape too)
.
.
.
Breechface has lots of red primer-sealer residue – otherwise no cause for alarm.
.
.
.
Barrel hood.
.
.
.
Barrel proofs.
.
.
.
Slide proof.
.
.
.
Hammer is GTG.
.
.
.
Rear sight.
Leaf is slightly dinged on outboard edge from right-side carry.
.
.
.
Mag well shows some wear.
.
.
.
Magazine has goodly amount of surface rust.
.
.
.
Feed lips look serviceable.

I would say it falls into the "carried a LOT" category 
It'll be interesting to see how it performs.
That's a fairly late production model. High serial number, last version barrel bushing.
Can anyone decipher those proof marks? Would "TGI" be TG International in Tennessee?

This isn't a weapon I need...but to add to the feeding frenzy, I recall about 40+ years ago when these pistols were being scalped for more than retail price.

Bravo!
It is, however, just the sort of detail that Holmes would be likely to retain and throw out at just the right moment - perhaps when examining a spent shell and deducing the make and model from the extractor mark...
"I published a monograph some years ago on the identification of firearms based on certain tell-tall marks left behind on spent cartridges. You would be well served by its study, Lestrade..."

W.E.G., you're a prince of a fellow for putting up such great pix - thanks. Max, big grin on the Sherlock quip.
