a total of 120 SP 47/8 pistols to the Lausanne Police (1949/1950)

Number range; 6'541 - 6'862

After conclusion of the Swedish contract, delivery to the Basel, Lausanne and Glarus cantonal police forces began with a slightly modified series starting with no. 6541. The barrels were fitted with a longer cartridge feed, the cross-bolts for pin safety and the trigger pin were fitted with concave instead of convex heads, and the magazine box was no longer smooth along its entire length, but featured a recess at the top left.

The pistols used by the Lausanne police force were fitted with a strap clamp.

It should be noted that the surface finish of this series is finer than before, and already reaches the quality of the later ennobled series.
