Mannlicher Model 1905

Mannlicher Model 1905 - 7.63mm Mannlicher

The Mannlicher Model 1905 is a semi-auto pistol designed by Ferdinand Ritter von Mannlicher in 1899 and originally produced in Austria by Steyr, as the Mannlicher Model 1901. The Mannlicher Model 1901 was an improved version of the earlier Model 1900. The Model 1900 was chambered in an 8mm cartridge, but Model 1901 was made for the 7.63mm Mannlicher to make it more powerful. This pistol was the official sidearm of the Argentine Army as the Modelo 1905. All of these models have the same basic design and operation, but minimal adjustments were made to improve each of them. Just 4,000 of Model 1901 and over 10,000 of Model 1905 were manufactured. A well made handgun with excellent balance and finish. If found on the second-hand market an example will command fairly high prices. Sometimes seen in European productions.

In order to distinguish its round from the 7.63 Mauser round, it was referred to in Germany as the "7.65 round", or the 7.63x21.
