Description:
The Steyr Hahn Model 1911 pistol was introduced in the same year as the famous Colt 1911, and as such, shares the same model number, which can lead to some confusion. Upon its introduction, it was quickly adopted by the Austro-Hungarian, Chilean, and Romanian militaries. This example was used by Chile and bears that country’s crest. It has been re-blued, but the crest is mostly intact. This is unusual as many of the Chilean that have been imported usually have the crest ground off. This example has a purple spot in the finish on top of the slide. This is most likely due to an improper rebluing. Normally, on older pistols, a purple spot indicates a high iron content. That is not the case here, as a high iron content would have resulted in a purple spot appearing during the original bluing process and the slide would have been discarded and replaced with another one. Purple spots are so much more common with re-bluing due to either incorrect timing or contamination of the chemicals used in the process. What set the Steyr Hahn apart from the Colt 1911 most was the lack of a detachable magazine. Instead, the Steyr uses stripper clips just as the Mauser C96 (1896) pistol uses. In fact, this pistol comes with three original stripper clips. The ammunition for them is hard to find these days, but not impossible to locate. Loaded ammo can be found on Graf and Sons, produced by Precision Cartridge Inc. Brass can also be found at Graf and Sons and is produced by Starline Brass. Supposedly, 9x23 Largo cases can safely be used given the low pressures used by both cartridges. The bore is in excellent shape and appears to have had very little ammunition put through it. It would make an excellent shooter. The gun is not matching unfortunately, but this is the case for most if not all of these pistols. The grips have worn on the bottoms from use but are still intact. The method of retention is similar to that of the earlier Luger pistol albeit using one screw to retain both grip panels rather than one screw for each grip. There is some slight micro pitting in the frame. The safety is fully functional. Trigger take-up is about 2-3mm. Trigger pull weight comes in at 7.5 lbs. The Steyr-Hahn is rarely seen these days. It harkens back to a period when semi-auto pistol design was still in its infancy. It is a very under appreciated firearm.
