Ok, It is not a Red-9. I am having a difficult time with your pictures. Here are my observations. The serial number is too high, see previous post. The sight goes up to 1000, see previous post. It is apparently in .30 caliber.

So the grips have been altered or are off a different gun. It appears to be matching but it also appears that some parts if not all have been re-finished. It is difficult for me to asses value but personally I would not want it if the price were more than 1K and would prefer a lot less.

Things to look for in a correct Red 9, C-96. Rear sight graduated up to 500, serial number between 1-13500, intertwined NS on back of hammer. It would be best if you could post some pictures so we can see what you have but those are some things to look for.

The "OF-743" was added by someone, it is of unknown meaning and actually detracts from value. It is an Imperial marked WWI 1914 Mauser which is not uncommon. Ones that have a trigger guard eagle are less common and it is in the correct serial number range for one. If it did not have the OF-743 value would be around $650.

Model HSC Pistol / Re: Late War E/F - Refinished?
« on: June 14, 2015, 11:24:39 AM »
From what I have observed the police HSCs even late in the war have a better finish than the military ones. The commercial ones are also usually better looking than the late military. I don't know if the police are better than the commercial. Just MHO.

Model 1934 Pistol / Re: 4. variation KM in great shape
« on: June 13, 2015, 06:55:00 PM »
It is hard to tell without seeing 2 side by side. I don't think it could be from a .25 caliber model. It still looks very nice to me.

Both look very nice to me. I can't see the safety release on the KM example. When I enlarge the picture I get no scroll bar to move to the right. I assume that is the one geert is referring to.

Model 1934 Pistol / Re: Trtigger fails to return for second shot
« on: June 13, 2015, 09:25:39 AM »
It sounds like a broken trigger spring but it is extremely difficult to trouble shoot or suggest gun repair by forum. Something else to consider is if it is in decent shape it has good collector value and you may consider that shooting a 75 year old pistol risky. You could do damage that will cause it to be worth a great deal less.

Model 1910 Pistol / Re: Oklahoma Mauser
« on: June 11, 2015, 09:11:42 AM »
It look like a very decent example of a 1910/14 new model. These were made pre and post WWI as it is believed that production stopped briefly during the war which caused a gap in the serial number range. IMO value is around $350 for an example in this condition. It is a common variation.

Well it not a Browning or a Mauser and definitely not a 1914. These are the creations of Chinese gunsmiths\blacksmiths. Some are well made others not so much. Yours looks like one of the better quality ones. They liked to put markings on there creations that made them appear to be popular firearms that were imported into China. They are only rare in the since that few were made of any particular design but I don't know anyone who collects them and if someone does it is because they can be bought cheap.

Model 1934 Pistol / Re: assembling a 1934 Mauser 7.65
« on: May 30, 2015, 06:23:15 AM »
Nothing I can add. Interesting youtube video, not as bad as most but then he doesn't try talking about history or variations. One thing I can point out is that his choice of tools is not ideal. I suggest using wood or plastic tools for disassembly. A tooth brush handle cut off at the brush, a chop stick and/or a popsicle stick are other options. A screw driver with the shaft covered with a piece of tubing is another idea. Use a screw driver for screws. Any prying or pushing with a wood or plastic tool. That way if you slip you will avoid a nasty scratch.

Model HSC Pistol / Re: hsc value.
« on: May 13, 2015, 02:31:46 PM »
By serial number the HSC pardt is asking about is WWII vintage Geert's is a 1960-70 era. IMHO I would value a late WWII commercial in 97% in the $450-550 range. I think they should be worth more but collectors seem to value the military and police marked examples more.

Model 1934 Pistol / Re: "Rework" - does such a thing exist?
« on: May 12, 2015, 08:40:42 AM »
Dorsey,
Yes, reworks exist. They are even mentioned in Pender's book. To determine if you have one you would have to be able to recognize the mix of early and late features and know the serial number ranges for specific features. An example of a re-work might have an early frame with a late slide, barrel and grip. All parts will be numbered to match the frame which would have a serial number to low for a 1934 model.

General Discussion / Re: The old site
« on: May 08, 2015, 10:33:20 AM »
This can be done.  I had already started on this about a year ago and added a couple.  See the menu now on the main web site which is WordPress.  http://www.mauserguns.com/ 
I'd need a volunteer who is willing to copy over the old information and create the missing pages as well as curate some of the content we need to add.  Best fit is someone already familiar with Wordpress, but if not, it's pretty easy to learn.

Thank you! This adds a great resource to the site. I am not familiar with Wordpress but I am willing to learn and would be happy to contribute to expanding the gallery. Just let me know what you need.
