Default Two 25 cal pistols carried by German soldiers
Although they were not sanctioned by the German military during WWI, they were carried by enlisted men and officers. This little 25 cal. Steyr was carried by a German soldier in Belgium.His name and date 1914 and 15 were very neatly inscribed on the grip and mag. This pistol is mentioned in Jan Stills book "Central Powers Pistols" (Steyrs were made in Austria. blow back action with a tip up barrel to remove round)
Thanks for looking,
Joe
