DESCRIPTION: Interesting Austro-Hungarian
Roth Steyr M.1907 semi-automatic pistol. The pistol
was designed by Karel Krnka in the early years of the
20th Century. The prototype was build in 1904. Consequently,
it was patented by Karel Krnka and Georg Roth. Georg Roth
was an employer of Karel Krnka at the time, hence he became a
co-owner of patent rights. Since Georg Roth did not have a gun
factory (he was an ammo maker), the production was set up at
the Waffenfabrik Steyr. Initially, the pistol was offered on
the commercial market as "Roth Steyr M.1905". In
1907, the pistol was adopted by Austro-Hungarian cavalry as "Model
1907". The pistols of this type were widely used during
the World War One. The pistol was manufactured by Waffenfabrik
Steyr, as indicated by markings on the barrel housing. The
regimental ring on the right side grip does not display any markings.
Fixed front and rear sights. All matching serial numbers.
Excellent quality machining and polishing! CONDITION: Low
excellent. 92% of original blue finish is still on metal.
The blue is worn mostly on the edges of the frame and barrel
housing (light holster wear). Minor handling marks and small
spots of light patina and/or peppering are present on the frame
and barrel housing. All the markings and numbers are clearly
visible on the metal. All the internal parts of the pistol
are in excellent condition, with no visible wear. Hardwood grips
are in excellent condition as well, with some small handling
marks. Very crisp action. The bore is in excellent condition
with strong and shiny rifling. No import markings. Early
Austro-Hungarian semi-automatic military pistol in very collectible
condition! Low serial number! Serial# 2XX. |
Unusual Austro-Hungarian Mannlicher M.1905 Automatic Pistol
(a Prototype?)
Caliber: 7.63 mm Mannlicher
Price: $6750
Inventory # syp_0050

DESCRIPTION: Early Austro-Hungarian
Mannlicher M.1905 semi-automatic pistol. The pistol was designed
by Ferdinand von Mannlicher, one of the most famous gun
designers of the period. Many Austro-Hungarian officers privately
purchased Mannlicher pistols and carried them during the World
War One. The pistol was manufactured by Waffenfabrik Steyr,
as indicated by markings on the left side of the frame. The left
side of the frame displays also the wording, "System
Mannlicher Md.1905". The pistol displays neither
a serial number nor the proof markings (!). This may indicate
that the pistol was either a prototype for the Argentinian military
contract, or a sale sample. The pistol is almost identical
to Argentinian M.1905 Mannlicher pistols. The major difference
is a lack of the lanyard loop on the hilt, and a lack of the
Argentinian crest on the right side of the frame. Very high
quality of machining and finish! Delayed blowback action.
Fixed front and rear sights. Eight shot integral magazine (stripper
clip fed). Barrel length is 159 mm. CONDITION: Excellent.
93% of original blue finish still on metal. Some blue is turning
to brown color. The bore is well used and rough. Strong action.
All the internal parts of the pistol are in fine/excellent condition,
with no visible wear. All the markings are clearly visible on
metal. Nice, original hardwood grips with diamond checkering.
Some light handling marks are visible on the grips. This is
definitely one of the of the most elegant semi-automatic pistols
ever manufactured! No import markings. Serial# N/N. |
