Item Description: The Swiss gunmaker SIG, in a move to comply with Geneva's tough gun export laws, partnered with J.P. Sauer & Sohn of Eckernförde, West Germany, to produce guns without having to cut through layers of Swiss red tape. Thus was born Sig-Sauer in 1976. The new organization's first gun would be the P220.
A modernized answer to SIG’s 1940s-era P210 to replace the latter in the service of the Swiss Army, the P220 was introduced in 1975 and was immediately met with open arms by military users around the world. Switzerland adopted the new 9mm handgun as their Pistole 75 — where it continues to serve today both in the Alps and with the Swiss Guard of the Vatican. Overseas military customers included the Japanese Army, which produced them under license by Minebea Mitsumi, as well as a host of smaller countries.
By 1977, Browning, which had long imported pistols and rifles from Belgium, France, and Portugal, as well as shotguns from Japan under their iconic banner, became the first to bring the Sig Sauer P220 to American shores. Dubbed the Browning Double Action, or BDA, the new gun would be imported in not only its standard 9mm caliber but also more New World flavors, namely .38 Super Auto and .45 ACP.
No box or paperwork.
