Mauser info
« on: June 04, 2016, 04:42:50 PM »
Hi all, So thanks to user 1914Mauser I was mistaken about my pistol. I thought it was a 1910 model turns out it's a 1914 32 auto. I have some questions to about it my serial number is 33141 and was wondering about the production date I'm guessing it is pre WW1 given the lower number? it is also nickel plated, could this been done from the factory? It has some markings in behind the dove tail but very hard to make out maybe BB? or 88?  the same marking are also on the front of the gun(barrel) on the right side where the pin goes in to secure the barrel left side has the last three of the serial number. All numbers match on parts inside as well as the back of the pistol. On the right side their are no markings of any kind. I will try and post some pictures later. Sweet little gun.

Year made is 1915. It is possible but unlikely that the nickel finish is original. The BB marking you describe is a Crown over a U proof mark. Everything else sounds typical. Glad you got it back together and working.
