Bedienteile und Auszieher vollständig gebläut. Dunkle Nussholzgriffschalen. Fangring fehlt. Verschluss läßt sich schwer öffnen, vermutlich wegen angetrockneten Fetts. Waffe in nahezu neuer Erhaltung.

Cal. 7,63mmMauser, SN. 547, matching numbers, incl. grips. Barrel length 140 mm, matte bore. Proof marks Double-Crown/"U". Rear sights graduated 50 - 1000. Large magazine housing. Diameter of floor plate bolt 4,8 mm. Short extractor. Three-line maker's mark on top of chamber, two-line on the right-hand side of the receiver. The finish > 98%, most probably original, some minor scratches on the lower breech end of the barrel. Hammer and lock frame case hardened. Extractor and small parts fire blued. Dark walnut grips. Lanyard ring missing. The bolt is hard to open, most likely caused by resinified oil. Overall condition almost as new.
A similar pattern gun can be located in the book by Erickson, "The Broomhandle Pistol 1896 - 1936", on page 193. Most known 20-Loaders feature a cone hammer, some a Flatside receiver, and were delivered to Latin America. According to the consignor this C96 is one of 10 shipped to Bolivia for Army trials.
WBK: Attention - For this gun we will need to obtain an export license for you, based on your import permit (if needed in your country) or through your firearms dealer - more info here
