SOLD - Scarce Steyr Mannlicher Model 1905 Rig - Argentine Contract

Description

3/24/22 - This is a terrific example of the rare Mannlicher Model 1905. The pistol is arsenal refinished and the original Argentinian crest on the right side of the frame has been scrubbed. The finish is dark throughout, and the straw parts are completely in the white. Further, the top sear bar is not fire blued, but dark blued instead. Overall still in excellent condition. These very elaborately made handguns were made from many complicated machined parts and were very labor intensive to produce. They had an integral magazine and had to be fed from the top with stripper clips or individual rounds. Only about 5,000 were made in various configurations and were popular with the army officers who had to purchase their own guns. Excellent grips and bore. All matching numbers. Comes with an excellent tan leather holster.
