SIG Sauer is closing shop in Eckernfoerde, Germany

[7tenz]

Once upon a time I insisted all my Sig's were made in W. Germany. I had one of only 50 W. German p239's imported to US.

I still have my P228 and P220.

Never part with the German 228 and 220

West Germany didn't exist when the 239 came out.

I would think there are more than 50 with the German frame if I have one myself. I'm just not that lucky. The slide is USA, possibly by Ruger.

Hi,
just a few new information about the SigSauer situation in Germany, as reported in German media today.
Please excuse this awkward translation, I'm not very skilled in business and law english.

Prosecutor freezes SigSauer Germany business accounts. 7.4 million euros enforcement and all machines and finished weapons seized, because of the announced end of production at the end of the year. all employees sent home. Total recovery of 11.1 million euros, of which illegal profits of 7.4 million euros from illegal gun deliveries with Colombia with weapons from Germany. Judgment is still not final.

regards
Ulrich
