Savage model 1905 .32ACP autopistol.
I've had one of these for many years, and have on occasion shot it when visiting friends out in the sticks. The thing has never once jammed or failed to fire, and i have never once cleaned it because i never knew how to field strip it. Well i finally looked up the procedure online today, and took it apart.
There is rust and filth in there to the degree that i cannot even believe the pistol worked- but it does, flawlessly. Im cleaning it out real good now, and will lightly lube it, but i am totally amazed at the masterpiece of design it is that a 104 year old weapon can go for (god knows how many) decades without being cleaned and still work flawlessly.
What a great little pistol. Mine is in excellent shape, with a 95%+ finish. I'm not looking to sell it, don't even know what it's worth, but i figured i'd put it out there how impressed i am with this little 10+1 double stack pistol.
