Steyr Roth M1907

My casual interest in these has finally escalated to "must have" status and I have begun the earnest hunt for a nice example. My fascination with the Great War combined with its absurd Nerf-gun looks really floats my boat.

Are there any signs I should look for of parts prone to breakage? Sourcing replacement parts is probably a headache, so I want to avoid any possible surprises.

Should I focus on a pistol that comes with stripper clips? Are these difficult to find on their own?

Any quality differences between the FEG and Steyr manufactured pistols?

Experiences shooting them? Does the ammo made by Fiocchi cycle correctly or should I plan on reloading exclusively? I have had bad experiences in the past with some of their specialty ammo, like .455 and Nambu...

Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Apart from the disassembly videos, there doesn't seem to be much I can find on practical experience with them. Any leads to a good value piece are always welcome.

The Steyr Mannlicher 1905 is also on my radar. Your experiences with those are also of great interest to me.
