What West German Means

These pistols left SIG Sauer’s Eckernförde plant while Germany was still divided, stamped “Made in W. Germany” — the stamped-and-welded frames collectors chase. Most arrive as police and service trade-ins: honest holster wear outside, inspected bores and mechanics where it counts.

Each one is graded and photographed as the exact pistol you’ll receive. The Swiss P220 is close family and turns up in the case too — find it through the model links below.
