At the time of his death, Michael and I were planning an addition to his two books, describing Oberlies' guns. He had been searching for years for an Oberlies Springfield 1903, finally found one in the year of his death. Unlike MP, who was focused on Springfields, I am focused on anything Oberlies made. We were to use my ten Oberlies guns for the article. Michael only had the one, but his interest was high. I have saved most of our emails discussing his search. The grip on the Swift is the wavy pattern, but with none of his characteristic silver inlays.
