Manufactured circa 1900-1901, the 1900 Dreyse Mannlicher bears most of the features of later fixed magazine Mannlicher pistols, while also having scarce features such as a rear sight mounted on the chamber hood instead of the slide, a retention screw for the sideplate assembly, and a large manual safety mounted on the left side. Blade front and notch rear sights, the latter mounted on the chamber hood and nested into the clip guide, with the "MUN. & WAFFENFABR. SOEMMERDA A.-G. vorm. v.DREYSE" address on the rib, "PATENT MANNLICHER." on the left side of the slide, restamped "crown/crown/U" proofs on the barrel, chamber hood and slide, "crown/R" on the sideplate and matching numbers on multiple parts, including the grip screws, inside the grip panels, and the sideplate retention screw. Fitted with straw finished small parts and a pair of finely checkered grips. Included with the lot is a black leatherette case with red felt lining, which holds the pistol and the following included accessories; a brass cleaning rod, screwdriver with two-sided reversible blade, and a clip loaded with eight rounds of ammunition.

Very fine, with 85% of the professionally restored blue finish, showing area of brown patina, minor edge wear and light handling marks, along with strong straw color on the small parts. The grips are fine, with chipping around the edges, a small crack at the top of the left panel and mild dents. Mechanically functions fine although needs adjustment of the safety which is frozen. The relined custom case shows light wear along the edges, and the accessories are fine.
