This Model 1907 is a compact, single-action, striker-fired design using a rotating-barrel delayed-blowback system, a hallmark of Savage’s early semi-automatic pistols. It incorporates a rear cocking piece with a serrated spur and a left-side manual safety marked SAFE for straightforward operation.
The steel frame runs the slide on internal rails and ejects from a top-mounted port. Vertical, scalloped grasping cuts aid manipulation. Sights are fixed, with a half-moon front blade set on the barrel and a small rear notch on the slide for a low-profile sight picture.
Capacity is 10+1 in .32 ACP, using an early double-column magazine long marketed as “Ten Shots Quick!” The included detachable steel magazine shows witness slots and a flush floorplate, matching the model’s period-correct pattern.
Made in the USA and produced circa 1907–1920, this example aligns with the model’s WWI-era relevance, including known foreign contracts to France and Portugal. Notable details include top-of-slide rollmarks with the manufacturer and a 1905 patent date, black checkered hard-rubber grips with “Savage Quality” medallions, and screw-free snap-in grip panels.
