Steyr 1908-1909 6.5mm

Steyr 1908-1909 6.5mm serial number 54XX

I've been repairing a Steyr 1908/1909, and reading about these firearms they are always stamped with the date on the side of the barrel. This one doesn't have a stamp on the barrel so does anyone have a Steyr 1908-1909 6.5 without a date stamp also?

Apparently, what you have been reading is wrong!

Expand on your answer.
Other Steyr 1908/1909 are date stamped that I have researched on the subject. Also no stamps are on the firearm.


Like this one circled.



This one is is earlier than mine and it's stamped.

Anyone out their have any knowledge about the .25 Steyr 1908, 1909 pistol? I know they are not all that rare.

Yours obviously was not date stamped, so the references are wrong.

Well, it's a anomaly since my research has provided a date stamped on all of the pistols.

This is one of the first production models since it only has 4 digit serial number and no letter afterwards. I would like to have a conversation with another Steyr owner who has more information about this early model. This pistol is lacking several stamps found on other models.

I was able to fit and finish the part to the pistol, it came out excellent. Time to cycle the pistol and see if it's going to eject the casings.
