A.W. Schwarzlose of Berlin began marketing this pistol in 1909. The Warner Arms Co., of Brooklyn, N.Y. were the importers in the U.S. until the model was discontinued in 1911. Those sold by Warner in the U.S. are marked W.A.C. on the grips. Unusual blowforward design that was prone to jams as well as being uncomfortable to shoot. The grip safety was on the front of the grip frame so that it was squeezed by the fingers. Made for only a short time, a relatively scarce pistol.
