Hello,
I picked up a darn near mint Schmeisser model 1 pistol the other day. It’s so mint that the brown grease is all in it, matching numbers on all components and about the only wear is at the trigger where it goes in and out if the frame and a hint at the front edges. Very low serial number. ‘Bout the only way to get better is that if it had the box and manual. The grip screw isn’t even jacked up as so many are. Sorry, no photos of it taken apart. I didn’t want to go into it.
I wanted to show it with my Sauer & Son (not Sohn as some are marked) model 1913, which is darn near mint as well. I’ve had the 1913 since 2014. I wasn’t able to get it, but if you get these two in the right light, both have a purple hue to them. Really neat to see.
Neat things about the little pistol: You have to have the safety on to remove the mag. You can’t put the weapon on FIRE with the mag out. The mag has a little area at the bottom to assist in disassembly of the pistol. It appears to have a crowned barrel end. And, it’s heavier than what I thought. Neat little chunk of metal in your hand.
Neither the little Schmeisser or Sauer have export marks (“GERMANY”) on them.
These two really go well with each other:
