An improved version of the Model 1901, the 1905 was adopted by the Argentine military, where it was known as the Modelo 1905 (this particular example is not from that contract). Fixed blade front sight and notch rear sight. The action is fed from a 10 round internal magazine. Marked on the left side is "SYSTEM/ MANNLICHER/ Md. 1905/ WAFFENFABRIK/ STEYR", "RA" on the back strap spur. The underside of the frame and right side of barrel are numbered "1622", with the frame, barrel and chamber numbered "5802" and "02" inside the serrated grip panels.

Very fine, with 70% of the blue finish. The side panels of the frame have turned a brown patina, with spotting overall, scattered pitting and handling marks. Grips are good, with some pressure dents and scuffs. Mechanically excellent.
