Historical profile
Designed by Karel Krnka on Georg Roth's patents, it was adopted by the Austro-Hungarian army in 1907 as the Repetierpistole M.7.
Fed by a fixed 10-round internal magazine loaded via stripper clip, it uses a proprietary 8×18 mm Roth-Steyr cartridge.
Widely used in World War I by the imperial cavalry, it remained in service in various successor states until the 1940s.
