The Smith and Wesson Model 1913 is a semi-automatic pistol chambered in .35 S&W Auto, based on a design by Charles Philibert Clement from 1903 and produced by Smith and Wesson in Belgium from 1913 to 1921, with about 8,350 units made at an original cost of 16.50 dollars each. It operates by blowback, weighs 22 ounces, measures 6.5 inches overall with a 3.5 inch barrel, and holds 7 rounds in its magazine, with smooth wooden grip panels, a fully grooved slide with a crossbolt lock stud, and an ambidextrous safety worked with the middle finger. It was the first semi-automatic pistol produced by Smith and Wesson, and agents of the Bureau of Investigation, predecessor to the FBI, carried it in service.
