    It's a goofy looking pistol but this is an interesting Dreyse 1907, with both German police (PD Bremen) and Norwegian Police numbers. Either one is pretty uncommon, with the Norwegian Dreyse pistols numbering 6601-6746 (146 total) and only 7 reported PD Bremen Dreyse pistols. Nice bore and still has pretty decent amount of original finish (and a bucket-full of grease crammed inside). Based on the serial number, probably made just before WWI in the 1913-1914 time-frame and chambered in the favorite of the time, 7.65 m/m Browning (.32 ACP).

    Best part was the Mawkie(TM) price :)

    Ed Buffaloe has a good article on the 1907 on the Unblinking Eye website.

    Awesome! That one ticks all the boxes. Fantastic condition, markings, you name it. Throw in the Mawkie(TM) price and it's a home run. I came late to appreciate this quirky looking design but love the history behind most of them.
    Funny that I found another that's coming up to auction soon but it's nowhere near as nice as yours. Well done my friend!
