It's a goofy looking pistol but this is an interesting Dreyse 1907, with both German police (PD Bremen) and Norwegian Police numbers. Either one is pretty uncommon, with the Norwegian Dreyse pistols numbering 6601-6746 (146 total) and only 7 reported PD Bremen Dreyse pistols. Nice bore and still has pretty decent amount of original finish (and a bucket-full of grease crammed inside). Based on the serial number, probably made just before WWI in the 1913-1914 time-frame and chambered in the favorite of the time, 7.65 m/m Browning (.32 ACP).

Ed Buffaloe has a good article on the 1907 on the Unblinking Eye website.
