This is a Beauty

Looks like proper Austrian, not a common find among "scarce" Chilean contracts that we have in abundance in NA. However seems like it was re-blued - hard to say from the pictures.

Now you only need several more:
- 1911 Commercial Model
- Marine-Pistole M12
- Chilean Model
- Romanian Model
- Bavarian
- Nazi proofed
- and several other minor variation...

That was the first handgun I wanted as a teenager. Never did get one. Thanks for sharing.

What a beauty... I'm envious!

It does look reblued, but still a beautiful specimen

Godawful triggers on those guys, interesting cul-de-sac of the early semi-auto designs. Aside fromt eh trigger, 9mm Steyr is a relatively pleasant and accurate round to shoot.

Very nice, these have always been on my want list but it will likely be years before I get one as something else always comes up first. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice!

FYI the stripper clips from Czech BXN 7.62×25mm Tokarev ammo are a perfect match for the 9mm Steyr.
