The 1907 has quite an impressive history, that, unfortunately, has been lost to the mists of time.  It was the first high cap semi auto battle rifle. The French order per a bunch for use in WW I by their pilots.  It saw some action with British and American troops in the trenches.  I think I recall reading somewhere that Gen. Pershing had a few on his 1916 Punitive Expedition into Mexico after Villa's raid on Columbus, New Mexico.  It was a favorite of both law enforcement and gangsters during the 20s to the 40s.  The border patrol used them as did many corrections facilities.  I have period 10 round mags for mine.  I have a deluxe model with checkered fore grip and stock. Cabelas had one for $4000.  I stole mine at an auction for a little over $600.</p></blockquote><p></p>
