The large increase finisecular chocolate production occurred despite the fact that chocolate remained a luxury product. The propaganda that was then headed for the chocolate especially wealthy foreigners who spent their holiday in Switzerland. These people were the perfect customers for garment manufacturers, not only because the chocolate was in his power, but mainly because it contributed to the spread of swiss military automatic chocolate in their countries of origin. The domestic market provided little for traders fuemuy francs. In the preliminaries of the twentieth century, only a quarter of total production was sold in Switzerland. The chocolate was primarily an export commodity. When in 1890 the annual export of chocolate reached about 600,000 kg in 1914 and were about 17 million kilos. In the years before the outbreak of World War laPrimera, Switzerland, supplied half the world demand for chocolate (!). Despite the stiff competition that existed between the different swiss military chocolate companies, sixteen of them decided to create an umbrella organization to represent their common interests to the outside. This organization was called Free Union of swiss military Chocolate Manufacturers (now Chocosuisse). But the golden age of swiss military chocolate industry did not last long. The end of World War in 1918 laPrimera lower export supusouna chocolate because ejércitosextranjeros dejaronde buy "Swiss military chocolate" for their soldiers after the war. Later, with the advent of the global economic crisis in 1929, the foreign market was limited even more. The possibilities raised in the domestic market were very limited, which many swiss military manufacturers into difficulties. DurantelaSegunda World War was very difficult to import cocoa or sugar. Therefore, the Helvetic authorities rationed chocolate production from September 1943 to May 1946. Only after the Second World War, when the chocolate is no longer a luxury product into a commodity available to everyone. Demand grew sharply and manufacturers began to fight for market dominance. . . The swiss military began planning in 1871 the manufacture of a weapon itself, for its strength, and that marks were being used as the S & W, Galand, Chamelot & Delving, and so on. The main architect of this policy was Lieutenant Colonel "Rudolf Schmidt," director of military arsenal in 1872 Berna, who performed an improved version of Chamelot & Delving, but manufactured in Belgium, not in accordance with the modifications set out to design a new model would be produced domestically, and thus is born the Swiss model 1878 in caliber 10. 4, a gun was too bulky and too heavy, so a Commission suggested that it should be more agile and reducÃrsele caliber. To carry out its mission Lt. Col. devised a new cartridge: 7. 5 mm Swiss, based the model 1878, presented a revolver simple lines, simple handling, easy disassembly and above all things light, so the Federal Council approves it as service weapon and ordered its production in 1882 in Berne Federal Factory. The new ammunition with which endow it was a novelty, very small gauge on the standard of the time, was characterized however by an initial rate considerably higher than that of any ordinance cartridge European armies. A small number of these revolvers were manufactured exclusively for police cyclists, who were distinguished by the length of the ring protruding end of the handle. Production of the new gun began in May 1882 and continued without interruption until the end of the century, because the swiss military army for his troops adopted a semiautomatic pistol (Luger) replace the revolver. The 1882 model, also called "Ordnance Revolver" created by Schmidt was not discharged, remained in service in Switzerland during World War I all, even for use in the years of World War II, assigned to units Landsturm's reserve, formed by former members of more than 45 years of age and who were claimed for the service in cases of extreme necessity.
