Husqvarna M/1907
Just a trivia..That particular gun was very long-lasting. My father did his military service as a NCO in the early 70's and he carried one of them. Either the Swedish Army was cheap or the gun was effective enough to last that long :) Dudster32 10:40, 7 August 2012 (CDT)

- About 90,000 were produced in Sweden. In 1940 M/1907 was officially replaced by Lahti L35 as a service pistol but in 1980s Lahti were withdrawn from service and M/07 brought back for a decade - the last appearance of this honored, though unappreciated pistol. Greg-Z 11:07, 7 August 2012 (CDT)
