Savage Model 1907 .32 ACP Pocket Pistol, 1912 Production, 3.75 in Barrel, 10+1 Capacity, Nickel-Plated, Top-Ejecting
This 1912 Savage Model 1907 is a WWI-era, American-made .32 ACP pocket pistol known for its innovative design and high capacity in a compact form. It features Searle's hesitation-delayed blowback system, a top-ejecting slide with the 1912 improved pattern of fine top serrations, and an early double-column 10-round magazine that inspired the period slogan "Ten Shots Quick!" Its micro size, steel construction, and clear rollmarks make it a notable example from Savage's 1907–1920 production run.

The Model 1907 stands out for its striker-fired single-action hesitation-delayed blowback mechanism and fixed steel barrel, a pairing that contributes to its distinctive operation. The top-ejecting slide incorporates an exposed rear cocking piece and the 1912 pattern's numerous fine top serrations.
Capacity is a hallmark feature: an early double-column magazine delivers 10+1 rounds in a micro-size pocket automatic. The front-of-grip magazine release is characteristic of the design and complements the manual safety on the left side, which also functions as a slide hold-open.
Sights are fixed and purposeful, with a half-moon front blade on the barrel and a fixed rear notch integral to the slide top. The pistol retains its nickel-plated finish over its steel frame and slide, consistent with period production.
Grip panels are checkered hard rubber with embedded "Savage Quality" medallions, a signature touch of the era. The top of the slide bears clear rollmarks: "Manufactured by Savage Arms Co., Utica, N.Y., U.S.A. Pat. Nov. 21, 1905" and "Cal.
32", aligning this example with its 1912 WWI-era production in the USA.
Produced by Savage Arms from 1907 to 1920, the Model 1907 earned a reputation as an advanced pocket automatic. This example brings together key features collectors look for: the 3.75 in barrel, top-ejection design, improved 1912 serration pattern, and the notable 10-round magazine configuration.
