Steyr Mannlicher 1905 Short Barrel 7.65 Mannlicher (PR55012)

Rare variant model of the 1905 with a short barrel. This is not an Argentine military model as it does not have and never had an Argentine crest on the frame. This pistol has 98% of its original factory blue. The bore is good with frosting throughout. The serrated style grips are in very good condition. Serial numbers are matching except for sliding inspection plate on the underside of the pistol which is #3253 and the other serials are #3254. This is an obvious error on the factory assembly line. Overall condition for this scarce variant is excellent. Comes with a rare correct holster, marked Mod. 1905. A rare and desirable set for the collector of early semi-auto pistols.
