SOLD EXTREMELY RARE (3 KNOWN) LONG BARREL 1907 SAVAGE PISTOL, PORTUGUESE MILITARY TRIALS PISTOL, FROM THE BROWER COLLECTION

From the collection of the Noted Savage Pistol Expert Bailey Brower, author of the definitive work on them Savage Pistols, we have a very rare Long Barrel 1907 Savage Pistol in .32 auto.  This pistol has a very prominent 5 1/4 inch barrel that makes it unlike any other Savage .32 auto pistol around.  There are 3 known examples of this pistol and it is believed that they were sent to Portugal in an effort to secure the Military Pistol Contract being a variant sent with a longer barrel.  Ultimately the pistol was adopted with the standard-length barrel.    These longer barreled pistols were not adopted by Portugal, and it is believed that they were returned to Savage and then sold by them at a later date.  The pistol has been refinished some long time ago.  Of the other 2 surviving examples one is also refinished and the other is in extremely well worn condition.   

There are 3 examples known to still exist and as you might imagine this is such an unusual looking pistol with the very long barrel that it will be a must have item for the serious Savage Pistol collector.
