Guns International #: 103058566
Seller's Inventory #: A-1819

Description:

Standard configuration Savage 1907 pistol in .45 ACP made by Savage to compete against the Colt.  Production limited to 288 pistols, this one (#107) is listed by serial number on page 261 in the book: "U.S" Military Automatic Pistols" by Scott Meadows, reported as being in a private collection, having a serial number just beyond the group, issued to Troop I, 3rd Cavalry, Fort Wingate, New Mexico. After the testing, the guns were reworked and sold commercially.  Part of the refinish included removing most of the slide legend, leaving only “ CAL .45”. When resold by Savage, a revised single line legend was applied to the left of the slide rib. The only other marking on the gun are the “SAFE” and “FIRE” at the rear of the frame. In this case, all parts matched to #107 except the unnumbered grips.
