You know, I really planned to not buy any guns while over here, but then this came up and I just couldn't say no. Espescially when the dealer offered to not ship it till I get home and gave me a 10% serviceman's discount.
For comparison, the last Roth Steyr I saw for sale up here was in worse condition and almost 3 times the price.
Interesting facts about the Roth-Steyr 1907 - it was the first automatic pistol adopted by a major military power, it was only for issue to cavalry (non-cavalry officers carried the Steyr 1912, non-cavalry troops carried the Rast-Gasser 1898), it uses a fixed internal magazine like most other Steyr pistols of the era, and it has a Glock-style trigger where the striker is partially cocked before the trigger is pulled.
