Manufactured c. 1913-1915, this is one of only 500 Savage Model 1907 pistols sold under contract to the Canadian government. A similar example to this one is pictured on p. 147 of "Savage Pistols" by Bailey Brower, Jr., where it is stated that these pistols were purchased by the Canadian government under contract for military or police use. It has the standard two-line address, patent date, and caliber marking on top of the slide, the "SAVAGE" trademark on the left of the frame, and the large broad arrow within a "C" Canadian acceptance mark on the right of the frame. It has standard features and is fitted with a pair of checkered hard rubber grips with Savage logos at the center. The included factory letter confirms the pistol was shipped to A.M. Bell on 6 August 1914, the same location as other documented Canadian government marked Savage pistols. Provenance: The Bailey Brower, Jr. Collection, author of “Savage Pistols”

Very fine, retains 80% of the original blue finish with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina, mostly in handling areas and at the muzzle. The grips are also very fine with a few scattered light handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
