Last year we posted about the launch of Edelweiss Arms, a venture of KRISS USA that’s dedicated to importing classic European firearms. They’ve been busily importing ever since, and tomorrow they’re giving away a SIG P49 (there’s still time to enter). The P49 is the Swiss military equivalent of the SIG P210.

“This is an unprecedented giveaway for Edelweiss Arms, offering such a rare and valuable item.” states KRISS USA Marketing Manager, Tim Seargeant. “Swiss National Day celebrates the founding of Switzerland in 1891, and we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate such a momentous occasion than to offer one of the finest examples of Swiss craftsmanship for our monthly give away. The P49 on offer was manufactured by SIG in Neuhausen, Switzerland, and is part of the fourth delivery to the Swiss Army. It is in very good condition with 90% of its original finish and all matching serial numbers on the barrel, slide, and frame; with minimal wear around muzzle, grip, and frame. One lucky participant is going to win a fantastic piece of history.”
