Good condition with no grip cracks and a good bore. Everything functions as it should and all numbers are matching. The action is tight and this pistol should fire with no issue. The Steyr Mannlicher Model 1912, also known as the Steyr-Hahn, is a semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9x23mm Steyr. This design originated in Austria and was produced during the early 20th century for both military and police use. The pistol operates on a recoil system with a fixed barrel and rotating lock mechanism, characteristic of Steyr’s engineering approach of the period. The steel frame and slide are machined with integral components, and the pistol typically features a single-stack internal magazine loaded from the top. The Model 1912 has a solid construction with all major controls machined directly into the frame, including the slide stop and manual safety. Its design reflects early semi-automatic pistol development, with a distinctive external hammer and fixed sights. The 9x23mm Steyr cartridge was developed specifically for this model, providing period-appropriate ballistics for service applications. Markings on the frame and slide typically denote the manufacturer, model, and production year, though specific markings are not described here. The pistol is accompanied by ammunition in the same 9x23mm Steyr caliber. No additional accessories or packaging details are provided. The included ammunition aligns with the firearm’s original chambering, maintaining compatibility with the Model 1912’s internal magazine system. No further information about quantity, packaging, or condition is specified. The Steyr Model 1912, commonly known as the Steyr Hahn (referring to its exposed hammer), is a single action semi automatic pistol designed by Karel Krnka and manufactured by Österreichische Waffenfabriks Gesellschaft (later Steyr Werke) in Steyr, Austria. Adopted by the Austro Hungarian military as the Repetierpistole M.12, the pistol served as the primary sidearm of Austro Hungarian forces during World War I and continued in widespread military service through World War II. The Model 1912 operates on a short recoil system utilizing a rotating barrel lock, in which the barrel rotates approximately 20 degrees during recoil to unlock from the slide. A distinctive feature of the design is its fixed internal magazine, which is loaded from the top of the open slide using 8 round stripper clips rather than employing a detachable box magazine. The pistol is chambered in the proprietary 9x23mm Steyr cartridge, a powerful round developed specifically for this platform. The all steel construction, milled from forgings, gives the pistol a robust and solid feel. Controls include a manual safety on the left side of the frame and an exposed hammer. This example is marked "Steyr 1916" on the left side of the slide, indicating manufacture in 1916 during the height of World War I Austro Hungarian military production. Serial numbers are matching on the frame, slide, and barrel. No additional accessories included.
