Bayard 1908 (11) .380


History:

Short time after the first model in caliber .32 ACP, in 1911 a model in caliber .380 followed.
Shape, size and construction were the same, just the barrel, magazine and breech were modified according the size of the .380 cartridge.
The magazine exceeded the grip at the bottom, as the capacity was not changed. Now there were small noses on it in order to enable a better manipulation.
Exact figures are not reported, however the numbering appearently was made together with the .32 models.
