I picked up this Frommer Stop a several weeks ago. It was a consignment at a LGS. Unfortunately the extractor is broke (though it's still in the gun and will extract by manually racking the slide after each shot), so I'm thinking about putting this on Gunbroker because extractors aren't usually easy/cheap to find and they're fragile. But before I do that, figured I'd show off some pictures, because it's not every day you see one of these.
Appears there was no original military marking on the left side of the trigger guard. If there was, it was either really light or the armorer did a good job removing it. It's been stamped with an Austrian acceptance mark, with a partial V - eagle - 36 stamp present. 1917 serial number. Typical HV 36 stamp you might see on a Broomhandle, but not enough room on the trigger guard to put the entire stamp, so there's a partial V that runs off the side. Original 7.65 Frommer marked magazine. Have no idea of value as Frommer prices are all over the place on GB and I don't know of another Austrian stamped one that has sold recently to compare. Either way, it's a neat pistol with an interesting long recoil system that you don't see often.
