Thank you, it is definitely a piece of history. If I didn't already have another one from 1988, I would not be selling this one.That is one beautiful Sig right there . Assembled / proof 1994 , 5 years after the wall came down . A true classic and getting harder to find . This needs to go to a good home & I'm sure it will . Great deal & GLWS .
Funny you mentioned the Trabant. We used to call it the paper Jaguar. The other car called the Wartburg was not much better.KE proof / assembly 1994
As part of the 1990 Reunification Treaty negotiations, West German manufacturers expressed major concerns about diluting their reputation for "West German quality" as a result of the flailing former East German economy and manufacturing sector (famous for bringing you such manufacturing missteps as the Trabant auto) combining with theirs under a common market and currency. So when the 1990 Reunification Treaty was ratified, the German government allowed West German manufacturers to continue referring to their products as "West German-made" for a 5 year transition period. That made it legal for SIG Sauer to continue producing and exporting products marked "Made in W. Germany" through October 3, 1995 — which is exactly what they did. That's why it's possible to find SIG Sauer pistols marked "Made in W. Germany" with date codes up to KF, or 1995…"
I like the body style of the late 50's Wartburg . My wife spent 1 year in Salzburg at college 1980 . Good times .Funny you mentioned the Trabant. We used to call it the paper Jaguar. The other car called the Wartburg was not much better.
Back in the early 80s I had the opportunity to visit East Germany when communism was still going strong.
