Steyr Model 1917 9mm Semi Automatic Pistol
Included in this lot is a Steyr Model 1917 9mm Semi Automatic Pistol. This well-known pistol is believed to have been designed by Karel Krnka on the basis of the Roth-Steyr 1907. The magazine, integral in the butt, is loaded by pulling back the slide to open the action, inserting a charger and forcing the cartridges downward. A quick-release catch allows the contents to be ejected through the open action. The pistol chambered a powerful 9mm round specially developed for it, which has since become known as '9mm Steyr'. This pistol features a 5” round blue’d barrel chambered in 9mm. The firearm is fit with checkered walnut grips and features a patina’d blue finish. The right side of the trigger is stamped with the original date "Wn (eagle) 17", but was restamped "34". Serial Number: 2025U. This firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic, and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
