I just purchased an Austro-Hungarian accepted Dreyse in .32 (Wn eagle 17). It is in very nice condition overall with lanyard bar. Does anyone know roughly how many of these were procured?
Thank you,
John

There was a very good article on the Dreyse 7.65mm pistol in the SHOTGUN NEWS a couple of months back. Perhaps if you contact them you can get a leftover copy?

I would also repost this message on the "Military Handguns" forum. Must be Dreyse fanatics over there.

Pres1981--do you still have it? I have seen 2 in 17 years of collecting! Very Rare!

Yup! I've still got it. Did you manage to snag one of the two you saw?

Here's a link to a completed auction for one by Hermann Historica. This one is 1915 dated.

SN 54761. 350EU is what it sold for in late 2005.

BOTH

I snagged both. Resold the worst condition. Both were not great! The 2005 price was close to $500 and exc condition--Grips were not like mine at all. I'll post a picture soon.
