    Interesting to see the Roth-Steyr 1907. My dad brought one back from Germany when WW II ended. After he passed in 1975, I inherited it. He could never find ammo for it, but with the miracle of the internet I found and bought a box of 8mm Steyr. That was about 10 years ago. I still haven't fired that pistol though. Trying to field strip it was like solving a Chinese puzzle box. Once again the internet came through.

      You should be able to get more of that now. I believe Fiocchi makes that round. Those old pistols were really like something from an science fiction story - Lugers, Broomhandles and your Steyr...
