Aantekening

This semi-automatic pistol was produced by the Savage Arms Company of Utica, New York, from 1907-1920. It had a 10 round magazine. A safety leaver is located on the left side of the pistol, at the upper rear of the grip. The model 1907 is often erroneously called a Model 1905 because of the date Nov. 21, 1905 stamped into the top of the slide on all Savage pistols. This was the date Elbert Searle was awarded one of his firearm patents, which were the design basis for Savage pistols. The model 1907 uses no screws (even the grips snap into place) and is relatively easy to dismantle.
