This pistol falls within the 24 000-series serial range, placing it among the first waves of Model 1907 production. Early guns like this helped introduce the concept of a double-stack magazine, giving users 10 + 1 rounds of .32 ACP in a package lighter and slimmer than most revolvers of the day.
The delayed-blowback, single-action striker-fired mechanism delivers a crisp trigger break, while the unique external cocking indicator doubles as a faux hammer to provide immediate visual and tactile status feedback.
Field stripping requires no screws; the slide detaches and the hard-rubber grips snap on and off, reflecting Savage’s focus on practical maintenance more than a century ago.
Fixed blade front and rear notch sights are low-profile yet serviceable, and broad vertical serrations on the slide give secure purchase during charging.
Historic endorsements from Buffalo Bill Cody, Bat Masterson, and the Pinkertons, along with military use by French and Portuguese forces in WWI, underscore the Model 1907’s reputation for reliability during its era.
