M1907

 

This Swedish M1907 is either a daunting example to a great fake of the stamps or really a rare piece.

The literature says nothing about this weapon, but this is not necessarily pointing it to a fake. Most of the literature is from the States and they are based on looted pieces. Weapons which were only used at the eastern front, couldn't be looted in my opinion by the GIs. If there are some of this pieces in the west, they have not to "found" yet.

This one was found. Stamps are looking much better compared to other fakes. This pistol was used by Swedish volunteers side by side with the Finnish and German troops  fighting against the Russian forces. So it was possible for the Germans to get some of this weapons. This scenario sounds plausible.

Acceptance 623, which is according to the Steyr-Werke in Austria is a negative fact for this pistol.
