I own 2 1907s and did own a third, which was one of the French WWI contract guns. They are a very early, if not the first, semi-automatic handgun that used a double stack 10 round magazine. When most other automatics held 6-7 rounds I would think the Savage could be classified as high capacity. In ...

This gun is a Model 1895.. The round hole cocking indicator is a dead giveaway as are the long stock cheeks. The brass bit above the counter window is filling a screw hole. Best recheck the serial number. Production estimates run 5,000 to 8,000, all made for Arthur by the Marlin Firearms Company.
