The 1907 is the .45 caliber model for the 1907 US Test Trials which lost out to Colt. The example shown is one of the Krausewerke reproductions copied from one of the two known surviving guns that were not involved in the actual test.

The 1913 Model is one of the last of the pre-WWI Commercial models, which featured a stock lug. Actually there were two models, one with grip safety (the so-called 1913 Commercial) and one without (the so-called 1914 Commercial but actually produced in late 1913)
