The 1907-13-2 configuration brings together hallmark features of Savage’s pocket pistol line, including a striker-fired, delayed-blowback action and a loaded-chamber indicator. Controls are compact and purposeful, with a manual safety and a front-strap magazine release that defined the model’s distinctive handling.
The slide is equipped with a cocking piece and transverse serrations, along with fixed sights: a blade front integral to the barrel shroud and a rear notch integral to the slide. These integrated sighting elements maintain the pistol’s streamlined profile for concealed carry of its era.
Construction is all steel, with checkered hard-rubber grips bearing "Savage Quality" medallions for a secure hold. The pistol measures approximately 6.5 inches in overall length, has a 3.75-inch barrel, and weighs about 19 ounces unloaded—dimensions that place it squarely in the compact class.
Manufactured in 1917, this WWI-era commercial example carries the dual-caliber top legend ("CAL. .32 … 7.65 m/m") and the 1907-13-2 pattern’s no-lanyard-ring configuration. The design by Elbert Searle also reflects Savage’s notable early use of a double-column magazine concept, marketed at the time as "Ten Shots Quick."
