Dreyse M1907 GI Bring Back!

Vietnam1965 · Oct 11, 2021

T/5 George F. Havens brought home this Dreyse M1907. He enlisted in the Army 10-11-43 and was discharged 11-17-45. I'm hoping to find out what division he served in. I like the custom grips he made for his bring back.

That's a beautiful looking Dreyse, love the custom grips! Looks like a late first variant at first glance. I wish I had papers for mine, it was passed down to me from my Grandfather, but my dad unfortunately doesn't really know the background of the weapon.

Smigit,
The Made In Germany on yours makes me think it may have been an import after the war.

Good looking Dreyse in both cases!

Thats a nice one and a family history too!

Yeah, it's kind of hard to place. This website implies that this would have been among the last few thousand produced, while the Dreyse 1907 database puts its manufacture in late 1928.

Weird, but cool, pistol. Very interesting! This is another example to demonstrate I know nothing outside of Mosins

Thank you for sharing!
