Here are some photos of my Hungarian Model 1907 Roth-Steyr 8mm pistol number 13061 acceptance date 1912 and Steyr -Hahn 9mm 1916 pistol number 5252N. The Roth–Steyr M1907, or, more accurately Roth-Krnka M.7 was a semi-automatic pistol issued to the Austro-Hungarian kaiserliche und königliche Armee cavalry during World War I. It was the first adoption of semi-automatic service pistol by the land army of a major power. The Steyr M1912, also known as the Steyr-Hahn, is a semi-automatic pistol developed in 1911 by the Austrian firm Steyr Mannlicher, based on the mechanism of the Roth–Steyr M1907. It was developed for the Austro-Hungarian Army and adopted in 1912. It was able to endure the adverse conditions of trench warfare during World War I.
