Pistol identification

[Rob]

I am not much of a pistol guy and need some help with this. An art historian friend needs to know the identification (as specific as possible) of the pistol in the Alex Colville painting, In The Woods, and has asked for my help. Can anyone identify the model?

SIG P210-6?

Description of painting: In the Woods, 1976 acrylic polymer. A very nice and accurate study of how cold it must be to shoot a SIG P210 classic pistol in the Canadian woods in winter. The second glove is in the shooter’s mouth.

It is indeed a Swiss SIG P210-6 with the factory SIG adjustable rear sight & checkered plastic grips.

Thanks guys. I have passed the information along to the art historian.
