Savage M1907 automatic pistol
The American Savage Arms Company is a century-old store founded in 1894. Its founder, Arthur William Savage, was born into a wealthy family in Constant, Jamaica, in 1857. Savage's life is full of legend. He was sent to England to study art in his early years. After completing his studies, he traveled across the ocean and came to Australia alone, where he began a treasure hunting adventure in search of Australian black opal (a precious gemstone produced in Australia).
Unfortunately, Savage was captured by the Australian Aboriginals while traveling deep into the Australian outback and did not escape until a year later. After returning to civilized society, Savage settled in Australia, married a wife, had children, and ran a ranch. At the age of 34, he returned to Jamaica cheaply and ran a coffee plantation. During this period he also worked for the railroad in technical work. ?
Later, Savage began to get involved in the arms industry, perhaps because his adventures in the Australian wilderness made him interested in firearms. In 1894, Savage went to the United States and founded the Savage Ring Arms Company in Udeka, New York. ?
The company is named after the family's surname, Savage, and its trademark is an Indian head wearing a feather crown. It is said that this avatar began to be used in 1919, which may have something to do with Savage's own Aboriginal experience for more than a year. What's even more coincidental is that Savage means "savage" in English. In old China, it was generally called "Barbarian Luzi". At the beginning of the 20th century, the U.S. Army decided to look for a semi-automatic pistol to replace the original revolver as its standard weapon.
In order to obtain an Army order, Savage purchased the patent of firearms designer Erbert Searle and began producing a 0.45-inch government semi-automatic pistol. In 1912 Savage moved to San Diego, California.
At this time, the Army's standard pistol bidding has ended, and the Colt government pistol finally won - this is the famous M1911 pistol, and the Savage 0.45-inch caliber M1907 government pistol submitted by Savage Company Although the pistol lost, it was the last contender to compete with Colt.
