EXTREMELY RARE, HIGH CONDITION SCHOUBOE M1903, CALIBER 7.65MM. SCHOUBOE M1903 108 7.65 MM MODERN; IMPORT Cal. 7.65mm. The Dansk-Rekylriffel-Syndikat in Copenhegan, Denmark, only made a handful of Schouboe pistols in 7.65mm. This rust blued example with a brightly polished trigger, marked only with the SN, has a 5-3/4" bbl and a drift adjustable front & rear sight. The raised panel on each side of the slide is fully checkered for easier grasping. On the left side of the frame is a rotatable safety with rearward movement for engagement. SN appears on the back of the tang. Spring tensioned bottom magazine release. Smooth bakelite grip panels, each secured by a single large-headed screw at base. Matching magazine with nine indicator holes. As per later guns, disassembly is effected by depressing the plunger above the tang & rotating the bbl slide assembly off the frame, confirming the bbl, slide and hammer have matching SNs. PROVENANCE: Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. CONDITION: At least 98% bright orig rust blue with minimal thinning around the muzzle & at bottom of front & backstrap. Comparable condition grip panels & magazine. Bright near mirror bore. Perfect manual mechanics. One of the rarest 7.65mm pistols in exemplary condition. 43475-323 LMA (9,500-12,500)
