Description:
The pistol was developed by the Czech designer Karel Krnka, working for an ammunition company of Georg Roth, from an earlier design of Roth–Theodorovic pistol. After development and tests of several prototypes, the final version of the Roth–Krnka won a contest for an Army pistol in 1906, and was adapted as a standard gun of Austro-Hungarian Army as: Repetierpistole M.7. (self-loading pistol M1907).[2] Since Roth had no weapon production capabilities, the government bought all the rights and ordered production in the Österreichische Waffenfabriksgesellschaft (OEWG) in Steyr and FEG in Budapest. From 1908 to 1914, approximately 99,000 weapons were manufactured (the Army received 59,334 from Steyr and 38,213 from FEG, plus several hundred were sold on the civilian market).[2] Despite common name for the pistol Roth–Steyr, Steyr works did not participate in its design, apart from minor improvements.[2] Following the dissolution of Austria-Hungary, the Roth–Steyr was fielded by Yugoslavia, with limited use during World War II by the Austrians and Hungarians. Italy received a number of pistols as World War I reparations from Austria-Hungary, and these pistols were used by Italian troops during World War II.[4] They were used also in Czechoslovakia and Poland.[2] This Roth Steyr Model 1907 was made in 1911 for the Austrian Military. The pistol is in excellent original condition, retaining approximately 85% of its original finish. The serrated wood grips are in very good condition, with the exception of 4 grooves on the right grip panel, are all original and fit well. The bore is nice with sharp rifling, and the actions operates perfectly. A nice example of its type.
