This model actually appears on Stoeger's catalog. Attached is page 159 of 1939 catalog. At the bottom of the page, Stoeger mentioned the actual model for sale does not have firing control switch as shown in their ad photo. And, there is no stock listed for sale either. That should put the final nail on the coffin of "existence of M711". On the catalog, this is called "Genuine Mauser Twenty Shot 7.63m/m Pistol", but they were a little bit lazy and used an early Westinger M712 photo for advertisement illustration purpose. So, the historical existence and the configuration is real.
For year of production, more researching is needed.
