Description:

Further links to SIG P210 on this website: SIG P210-1 and SIG P210-2 Swiss Army (Pistol 49, P49) SIG P210-1 and SIG P210-2, police and private versions SIG P210-3 Police version SIG P210-4 BGS Federal Border Guard SIG 210 S.P. 47/8 SIG M/49 Denmark   When the Federal Border Guard (BGS) of the young Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) was founded in 1951, the question of armament arose.   Interestingly enough, they decided to buy the very expensive SIG P210 pistol, which cost about CHF 185.00 with a replacement magazine in 1951, although there had to be enough German weapons (e.g. pistol 08 P08, pistol 38 P38 etc.).   The SIG pistol was slightly modified at the request of the BGS and received a loading indicator on the top of the sled, in addition the safety strap clip was dispensed with.   The modified gun was given the designation SIG P210-4 at SIG, at the BGS it was introduced as "self-loading pistol SIG 9mm", in short "SP SIG 9mm".   In 1951 a total of 5,000 units were ordered and delivered in two batches. In 1955 another 21 weapons were ordered and delivered. (See manufacturing data below).   The weapons were given their own number range (letter "D") by SIG. The grip and breech are sandblasted. The first 500 pistols were equipped with cross-grooved wooden grip shells, the other weapons with black plastic grip shells. As already mentioned, they do not have a sling swivel, but a loading indicator on the top of the slide. On the side of the sled, the weapons received a stamp of the Federal Ministry of Data and Property (BMDV1), the predecessor of the Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI). From 1980 onwards, weapons still in existence were given an additional BMI stamp on the base of the trigger guard in order to sell them on the open market. Pistols without a BMI stamp were already sold before 1980. The SIG P210-4 was replaced by the pistol "P6" (SIG P225). The so-called Bernerprobe (BP) was not ordered for reasons of economy; in the Bernerprobe, the guns are marked in Switzerland after they have been successfully fired with an overload of about 33%. The firing was carried out ex works and again at the BGS itself.   In order to practice with inexpensive ammunition, the BGS ordered a total of 443 interchangeable systems in calibre .22 Long Rifle from SIG. The KK interchangeable systems had the numbers D 1 to D 443, but were not delivered together with the corresponding weapons D 1 and D 443. Nevertheless, there are said to be some "identical-numbered" sets of pistol and KK interchangeable system, which came together more or less by chance. The price for a KK interchangeable system at that time was CHF 123.   With the foundation of the Bundeswehr, units of the BGS were taken over into the Bundeswehr and so SIG P210-4 were also used by the Bundeswehr (among others by the military police). The first Bundeswehr designation for the P210-4 was "Pistol Neuhausen", later "P2". In the German Armed Forces the pistol P38/P1 (Walther P38) soon replaced the SIG P210-4, at the BGS the SIG P210-4 remained in service until the end of the seventies.   The black leather pistol holsters for the SIG P210-4 were specially made, brown holsters for officers are said to exist. The holsters were stamped inside with BMDV2, BMI, Geco or manufacturer's stamp.   The company Frankonia Jagd (Würzburg) ordered another series of the SIG P210-4 from SIG in 1995, which received the numbers D 6001 to D 6500. The guns were equipped with wooden grip shells and had the holes for the sling catch in the grip, otherwise they were identical in construction to the BGS SIG P210-4.
