DESCRIPTION: This is a relatively
scarce Nazi rework of Austro-Hungarian Steyr Hahn M. 1912 semi
automatic pistol. The pistol was converted by Nazi arsenal
from its original 9 mm Steyr to 9 mm Luger. The German
caliber designation is stamped on the left side of the slide,
"08" (from "Pist.Patr.08" - 9 mm Luger).
The modified pistol was issued to police and reserve units
in Nazi administrated Austria under the name, "M.1912
umg." (umgeandert - modified). All matching serial
numbers (the numbers are stamped on the frame, slide and
barrel). Nazi Eagle "N" is stamped on the left
side of the frame. Nazi Eagle with swastika in the circle and
a letter "L" is stamped on the right side of
the frame. "O in the Triangle" is stamped on
the left side of the frame. The pistol was manufactured by Waffenfabrik
Steyr, Austria in 1919, as indicated by the markings
on the slide. Inspector mark, "W, Austrian Eagle, 30"is
stamped on the right side of the trigger guard (over the original,
"W-n 19"). Adjustable front sight (correct for
M.1912). The lanyard loop displays following issue markings,
"LG K. 0. 0". Excellent quality machining and
polishing. Steyr Hahn is one of my favorite pistol. I was always
very impressed by the quality of the design and manufacturing!
The pistol comes complete with a leather holster. The
back of the holster displays some fading Nazi markings (please,
see pictures). CONDITION: Low excellent. 92-93% of blue
finish is still on metal. Some blue on the grip is turning to
brownish color. Wooden grips are in very good condition with
some handling marks. The left side grip panel shows some wear
around the screw (please, see pictures). Very crisp action.
Excellent bore with strong and shiny rifling. The holster
is is fine condition. C&R or FFL required to purchase.
The pistol comes from my family member collection of military
firearms (please, pay by check, money order, or bank wire transfer
only). Serial# 46XXY. (Ref. "Guns of the Reich"
by George Markham, pp. 64-65). |

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. |
