Appropriate postage? Go the post office and they'll tell you how much you need.

You'll need some stamps and an envelope.

When you find the name tag, try this to find his address. On the Swiss rifle site they have a form letter in French and German so you can copy it .

A name and an address, write the letter, and put it in the addressed envelope. Go to the post office and tell them you want to send a letter to Switzerland. They'll handle the rest. Oh yeah, international postage is expensive.
If all you have is a name and a hometown, you need some luck. Hopefully the guy is a) still alive and b) still living there. If the town is small enough, it should go through with just the name and the town for an address. This works more often than you'd think since Switzerland is such as small place. Otherwise, you need to find a more specific address. I have no clue on how to do that one. Another problem is that a lot of older Swiss don't read English. He'll find one of his younger relatives to translate out of curiousity if he doesn't, most likely. French or German might make it easier on him if you know either. |

Ignore the smart ass's Okie dokie… If you want to contact Herr Walter it should be easy enough. The Swiss usually live in the same place all their lives. They also serve in the reserves from age 20-55 so all males in that area will know each other. www.hergiswil.ch/ Hergiswil is only a small town (pop 5,300) and everyone will know everyone. Herr Walter's military service will be recorded and if you supply the rifles seriel number they can link it to him. You could try as a first point of call the local point of contact; www.hergiswil.ch/Content/verwaltung/kontakt.asp or for the Swiss military; www.vbs.admin.ch/internet/vbs/en/home.html I know that region fairly well and English is very widely spoken. ANdy And this is the way pretty much everyone carries their rifles… even guys going to the range, everyone shoots, everyone aged 20-55g ets given one of these full auto SIG assault rifles to keep at home! And when you reach 55 and 'retire' it's just downgraded to semi auto and you keep it…  Swiss reservist having a coffee in a restaurant |
