Hi Greg,
I'm no authority on this but;
I do not believe that you will find any official use of a 1900 model in Military Use in WW-1 or WW-2 in as much as the P-08 was the official model in Military Use.
There may be some cases where the "Home Guard" may have used that old of a "Relic" in the last desperate days of resisting the Allied Forces".
For instance I am the proud Owner of a Model 98 Sporting Rifle that was used effectively by a Woman Sniper in Remagen, and was removed from her dead hand by Squad Leader William Dunn, who lost two of his best friends to this Womanâ??s "Sniper Skills".
So as You can see â??Anything Can Happen In The Time of War and Usually Will !
