A guy has a Dryse 1907 pistol and holster he wants $200.00 for. I haven't had a chance to see it yet but I will today.
Would it be worth it if it is in good shape. My son said it looked like it could be a .380 but what I could find about it
it would be a .32 cal. I will get some pictures of it.

Re: Dreyse 1907 pistol
I would think any antique pistol in good condition would be worth at least that.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

If it shoots, I don't see how it couldn't be worth it...

If it looks good then get it but make sure the extractor is not missing or broken. Mine is and I cant find one. An uncommon pistol you just done see many of anymore.

Re: Dreyse 1907 pistol
Well my son did get the Dreyse 1907 I showed him how to field strip and clean it. He said he was going to re blue it and I said I was going to kick his ass.
He was just busting my balls he knew he can ruffle my feathers like that. Sweet little pistol need to get it checked out and pick up some ACP ammo.
Looks like it will shoot but I think a gun smith should go over it first.

Re: Dreyse 1907 pistol
I have one of those, odd little gun but it shoots. Not some thing I would carry or take out often. It sits in the collection.
