Savage made three .32 ACP automatic pistols:
model 1907, made 1908-1920
model 1915, made 1915-1916
model 1917, made 1920-1926
These were also made in .380.
You should be able to find photos of each one on the internet -- they are easy to tell apart, especially by looking at the shape of the pistol and the grip.
It is not uncommon to find references to other Savage automatics, such as the model 1904, model 1905, model 1908, model 1909, model 1910, etc -- these are mis-identifications of one of the above three models, usually a model 1907, sometimes a model 1915, and occasionally a model 1917.
