Description:

Designed by Thomas Martin and produced by Etienne Bernardon, the Model 1907 is credited as France's first domestic production semi-automatic pistol design, showing parallels to Browning's Model 1900. Fixed sights, with "AUTOMATIQUE FRANCAIS" on the right side of the slide and "SYSTEME BREVETE S.G.D.G." on the left. The serial number "626" is marked on the left side of the trigger guard, left side of the frame under the grip and on the bottom of the magazine, on the inside. Another feature unusual for this particular gun is the fixed magazine and top loading configuration Grips are checkered hard rubber, with the "BM" monogram at the top of each.

Rating Definition:

Fair, with traces of blue finish. The balance is a mottled brown/gray patina with mild edge wear, some spotting and light pitting. The grips are poor, both have portions missing, though the right side appears to be broken to accommodate a part for the loading mechanism. Mechanically needs adjustments, gun will not cock.
