Description:

One of Mannlicher's most successful handguns, the 1901 was tested by both the Austro-Hungarians and the Americans. Though passed over officially, the pistol won fans among Austria's officer corps, and caught the eye of Colonel Frank Phipps, the commanding officer at Springfield Armory, who unsuccessfully petitioned to give the 1901 a second look. Patridge blade front and notch rear sights, with the rib marked "MUN. & WAFFENFABR. SOEMMERDA A-G.VORM. V. DREYSE." and the left side of the slide marked "PATENT MANNLICHER.", a marking only seen on the first few hundred produced. Matching numbers are present on the barrel, chamber and the underside of the frame. Fitted with a fixed 8 round magazine, checkered bright hammer, checkered wood grips and a lanyard loop on the base. Includes an original "V. Mannlichers/Selbstlade-Pistole m/1901. By R. Wille/Generalmajor z. D." manual in German.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, with 80% of the original blue finish, thinning slightly on the sides, with wear on the high edges and areas of brown patina forming, with light initial scratches on both sides of the rear receiver. Some light spotting on the grip straps, hammer and trigger. Grips are excellent with some minor dings and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
