You sure they was unissued?
I always git suspicious when anyone makes that claim about that old of a rifle. It smells too much like Mitchell's Mausers.

IIRC, that's Italian made. The Condor I'd like to have is the real Swiss one:

Thanks GodOfVice. That's little Jeepie, a 1946 and the 4199th civilian one to roll off the assembly line:
It's a daily driver in warm weather and it's still doing yard duty 70 years later.
That Jeep is way cool! I'd love to find one like that!!
K31 prices sure have gotten stupid. I inquired about a Walnut K31 that someone was asking $550 for. I was thinking that maybe it was one of the unissued Samco Walnuts. Nope. Just regular K31 with beaver chewed stock and some wear on the finish. O_o
I wanted to pick up another one but "stupid" does indeed describe the current market prices.
No idea what grade mine was at SAMCO or when it was bought but it's in great shape and I paid $180 for it at a yard sale.
Any K31 for that price is a steal. However, does your $180 yard sale find look like one of these?
Pics are two pages back, again mine is from 2nd year of manufacture. Is it as smooth as yours, probably not but for an issued not re arsenaled weapon with ID card it is what it is.

I think you should sell me that Walnut one

Here's my minty M1882 Ordnance Revolver that I picked up a little over a year ago. Manufactured in 1891 but it looks and feels like it was made yesterday. I have an original holster that came with it also.
I have a box of Fiocchi 7.5 Swiss Ord. ammo and reloading dies, but I can't bring myself to shoot it. I honestly think this is the most finely crafted military revolver ever made (at least of the ones I've seen).

So cool Dan..... like a Swiss watch! 
Can't say I am too familiar with that. Is it basically a Swiss spin on a Nagant pistol? That is extremely cool and beautiful

Gotta love any Swiss firearm. All those that I've owned and lusted after were built to a higher standard. Don't care if it's a P210, Luger, 1882 revolver, PE57 or member of the SR family. They consistently amaze me.

The first decent snow this winter, so I decided to photograph some of my K31's with some Swiss surplus gear.
p.s. Bringing the thread back from the dead.
Great Photo, Id love to share it with your permission
Permission granted. I have it on my IG feed as well if that makes it easier to repost on your IG.

Yup that will work , I was hoping to give you credit
Nice! I was torn between my Swiss M70 field jacket (with hood and alpenflage veil) or my Norwegian M75 when choosing a jacket for shoveling today. Norwegian won out as it's longer and has a nice button-up gorget-style collar.
