Steyr M1912 in 9 X 23 mm Steyr

Anyone familiar with these pistols? I have one and am trying to identify its source.

......Just because I can always look at another gun!

Here are pictures. It lacks a "Steyr XXXX" (Xs = year) seen on most models I have looked at.

That's pretty cool

It looks to be a Roth Steyr but that is all I know. Nice pictures by the way, the gun is in beautiful condition.

It is indeed. I bought it from someone who said their uncle had picked it up in Europe during WWII. It was in the inscribed holster pictured. Very low serial number. It functions perfectly. Wish I could figure out when it was made.

That's awesome. I love hearing about ww2 gi souvenir stories. I wish I could be more help. If I remember right.. that gun is loaded with stripper clips from a fixed boxed magazine. Do you have any clips for it?

I do have some stripper clips, as well as a couple boxes of 9 mm Steyr ammunition.
