Here is an original instruction manual from Husqvarna printed 1918.

To make it more clear someone tried to remove system Browning when Husqvarna 1921 started the real production of pistol m/07.

KATF (Kungliga Armétygförvaltningen, Stockholm)
 - numbers of the parts and price-list from May 1962.

The pistols were also used by other army personnel like medics and signallers.

During training services the pistol was exchanged for a dummy pistol officially called m/28. The dummy should, when carried in the field, have the lanyard loop.

Here is the dummy Pistol m/28 in a navy holster M/1910.

The substitute for pistol m/1907 - Dummy pistol called m/28

Dummy pistol made of wood used for exercise only at tank regiment P4. Donated 1960 to the tank museum.

The pistol m/1907 should from the beginning be carried in a holster called m/1908. At the end of its service period the pistol was carried in one of the front pockets of the battle belt. Very often the officers cheated during field training and only kept the lanyard loop going to the pocket without any dummy or pistol.

The Navy used a black holster called m/10.

Service regiment No 4

 Officers were allowed to purchase their own holsters according to standard but with minor modifications.

This is a typical Artillery officer’s purchased holster with similar button on the holster like on the officer’s uniform jacket. Note the magzines in their pockets. Typical for these holsters are that they are lined

This is another purchased officer’s holster

with cleaning rod on the back side.

Typical for all officer’s purchased holsters are that they are lined.

There were tests made to alter the m/07 to 9x19 mm cartridge m/39 after the acceptance of the Walther HP as pistol m/39.

These pistols are equipped with 9 mm Parabellum barrels, stronger recoil spring and the magazines were changed. There are reports that 10 pistols from FN and 15 pistols from Husqvarna were changed. The system turned out to be too weak and the tests were finished.

Pistol m/1939 (Walther HP)

Pistol m/1940

The story should be over 1942 when the Finnish pistol Lahti Swedish m/40 started to be produced in large numbers. This was not the case, because when Sweden accepted the heavy armour piercing submachine gun cartridge 9 mm called m/39b (with red seal), the m/40 could not stand the heavy submachine gun ammo.

When I made my military service during the 1970:s I used both m/07 and m/40 pistols. The m/1940 is although it’s very clumsy much easier to shoot with than m/1907, but the m/1907 is much smother to pack and more safe  to handle.
