I believe the Schwarzlose was 1896, contemporary with the C96 but without the marketing base. Three pistols I have always wanted to own but probably never will are the 1892 Schoenberger, the 1893 Bittner and the 1896 Schwarzlose. All monumental design pieces.

Schwarzlose's little 1908 blow-forward pistol is also neat little departure from the norm.

Compared to the Borchardt and the C96, the M96 Schwarzlose was a race car!
