RUM - Roth-Steyr M1907
samonabíjecí pistole
a little history
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Austro-Hungarian army command realised that the revolver was no longer suitable as a personal weapon for officers and some services and started looking for a suitable replacement in the form of an automatic pistol. The first accepted weapon of this type was the Model 1907 pistol from the Steyr Armory, usually called the Roth-Steyr. The gun used the 8 mm Model 1907 cartridge which was specially developed for it, as no similar cartridge was produced in the R-U at that time. A few years later this gun was replaced by the simpler and better model 1912 from the same armory. Despite the relatively short production time, around 80,000 units were produced, of which 50,000 for the Austrian army at the Österreichische Waffenfabriks-Gesellschaft Steyr between 1908-13, and another 30,000 for the Hungarian part of the army at the Femaru Fegyver es Gepgyar armoury in Budapest between 1911-14. Allegedly a small batch of pistols was still produced in 1919, but I have not been able to find verification for this claim and it seems unlikely, it could have been more a post-war assembly of older weapons and repairs. Despite the short production run, the weapon remained in service not only during WWI, but also in the interwar period, for example in the Austrian army as a weapon in the cavalry and in units taken over by the Wehrmacht until at least 1942. According to some reports (I have not been able to verify them), it was still used in the Yugoslav conflict, but here it may have been only single pieces, since ammunition was not produced for a long time. The weapon itself is very complex and one publication describes its design as "screwy", i.e. crazy, yet it is a reliable and robust weapon, which is confirmed by its length of service.

Inak, uzamknutie sa vykonáva rotáciou hlavne, čo je dnes veľmi moderné. Na tomto konkrétnom kuse asi niekto vymenil hlaveň (aspoň pri zbežnej obhliadke sa mi nezdala ako pôvodná). Naznačuje tomu aj tvrdenie terajšieho majiteľa, že z nej strieľa kloasické 7,65 Br.
Bohužiaľ sa nezachovalo púzdro.
