Model 1908


History:

After Model 1907 already in 1908 a new Model was introduced again, where Clement enhanced the grip. Now it was not longer shaped conical, but front- and backstrap were parallel. In addition to this, Clement moved the magazine catch to the left lower side of the grip. At the previous model this magazine catch was inconveniently placed at the backstrap of the grip, so that sometimes the magazin fell out when shooting.
The Model 1908 appeared on the German market too. The gun-factory H. Burgsmüller & Sons from Kreiensen/Harz offered this small Belgish selfloading-pistol as "automatic Clement repeating-rocket-pistol, small model" in their catalogue of 1911 at a price of 30 Mark.
Again this model was made for just a short periode and already replaced after one year by a new model.
Therefore also this model is already kind of scarce today.
