Husqvarna Pistol M1907

Description

In 1907 after trials the Swedish Armed forces adopted the FN Browning 1903 as a service pistol. After 1914 these were not available from Belgium, and were manufactured domestically by Husqvarna as the model 07. This low powered, blow back operated pistol was the standard service pistol until after WW2. Late pattern slide markings indicate post 1930 manufacture. L side frame stamps indicate issue to an Army service "T" unit .
