Barrel Length: 5 1/8”
Sights / Optics: The front sight is a blade fixed to the barrel (A characteristic of the Model 1911) that has an inverted “V” shape when viewed from the rear. The rear sight is a “V” groove at the top of the raised ears used as a cocking piece at the back of the slide.
Stock Configuration & Condition: The grips are checkered walnut that are dark with oil staining. The checkering shows moderate to heavy wear with a few marks and a large deep bruise in the right grip. There are several dings and handling marks and a few surface chips in the smooth edges of the grips and tool marks around the grip screw. The grips are tight on the frame. The grips rate in about Very Good overall condition.

There are tiny spots of pinprick surface erosion scattered over the slide, frame, and the top of the backstrap, with larger spots of erosion on the trigger guard and the underside of the frame around the trigger guard. There is finish loss on the edges of the slide and frame, and thinning in the backstrap, front strap, trigger guard and in spots on the slide and frame. There is a sharp ding in the left rear of the slide, and two more in the underside of the frame, with two tiny dings in the left side of the frame and a few light handling marks scattered over the remaining surfaces. The slide, hammer and slide/barrel wedge serrations show light wear. The screw heads are sharp. The markings are clear, with a very clear crest on the slide. Overall, this handgun rates in about Very Good condition.
Mechanics: The action functions correctly. This is a very unique looking pistol with ears on the top of the slide for loading the internal magazine with stripper clips and ears on the rear of the slide that aid in pulling the slide back. The slide is tight to the frame. There is a “D” shaped lanyard ring at the butt. The trigger is a little stiff, but breaks crisply. We did not fire this handgun. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards.
Box, Paperwork & Accessories: None
Our Assessment: See http://randyrick.us/AustrianFirearms/pm1912.htm for more information on this pistol than we can provide here. This is a Steyr-Hahn M1911 pistol (differing from the M12 in that it has a fixed front sight). Hahn is German for hammer. The M12 was evaluated for military use, but was not adapted by the Austrian Army until the First World War began, and was only produced to about 1919. The pistol was made for several different countries and there was even a machine pistol variant produced as the Model 1916. Chile was the first country to contract for the pistol in 1911, and ordered 5000, chambered in 9mm Steyr. This pistol is from that contract, and is correctly marked with the Chilean crest on the left side of the slide and the Army marking “EJERCITO DE CHILE” on the right side. The barrel, slide, frame and magazine floorplate have matching serial numbers. The pistol is in about Very Good condition with about 70% of its original finish remaining. Having been one of only 5000 made, and with an original finish and matching numbers, this pistol is sure to catch the eye of the German, Austrian and Chilean gun collectors.
