Model 1934 Pistol / Re: Japanese holster

« on: October 18, 2015, 08:35:59 AM »

Well, the hoster arrived, it definitely has age to it, and after a fitting test, using a Mauser 1910/34, a Mauser 1914 and a Mauser 1934, I can conclude that all fit very well in this holster.

As discussed above, these holsters were used to carry just about any pocket pistol that would fit it.

Attached some photos of the fitting session.

Model 1934 Pistol / Japanese holster

« on: October 16, 2015, 06:35:42 PM »

This holster is on its way to me, I stumbled across it on a local advertising site, where it was misidentified.

I have to check which pistol fits best, M1914 or M1934 or possibly an M1910, but the holster itself looks like its in good shape, and most probably of Japanese origin.

Any thoughts?

Model HSC Pistol / Re: post war hsc American Eagle

« on: July 14, 2015, 01:12:07 PM »

Very nice,

I can tell you how they applied the 'eagle'. It is identical to the eagle marking on the Mauser Parabellum pistols that were sold by Interarms. The eagle was applied by using a template, which was a negative image, printed on bitumen which stuck to a transfer paper. The transfer was applied to the pistol, the bitumen remained. Then, carefully, etching fluid was dabbed across the bitumen template. After enough depth was reached the slide was cleaned/neutralized and the bitumen remains removed, showing the eagle.

I have some of these original templates.

Hi, I found the Mauser chair in Oberndorf. These were used in the company and several of them were sold off and ended up in Oberndorf homes. A few are now in the Oberndorf town hall and in the Oberndorf Museum as well.

The envelope came from an antiques dealer in Germany as well. The stuff is out there, finding it is a challenge

General Discussion / Some nice additional Mauser finds

« on: April 01, 2015, 12:34:58 PM »

Sometimes you come across items that are too nice to pass up, especially if they are related to our favorite brand.

Here are some recent acquisitions:

1. A 1940s pay envelope from the Mauser subsidiary in Berlin-Borsigwalde (in the DWM complex).
2. A Mauser company chair.

C96 / C12 Broomhandle / Re: Cartridges

« on: March 05, 2015, 01:11:33 PM »

They were indeed made in Portugal.

Produce quite a muzzle blast, but should function OK. After all, they were specifically loaded for the C96. I have several complete packages, even with a C96 image on the box.

During a visit to the Deelen museum, a military airfield in the Netherlands, I noticed this 1934 on display. It was found at a German crash site in Epe, not far from the Airbase. The pilot had already been recovered and buried at a military cemetery.

Place the assembly in a large, transparant, plastic bag and dismantle it in there. Anything flying out should be caught by the bag

Model 80SA / 90DA Pistol / Re: Model 80.SA and 90.DA side by side

« on: August 03, 2014, 10:14:01 PM »

An example of one of the older SA 80 boxes. I've seen 2 variations, one as the styrofoam box with carton wrap, similar to the DA 90, the other a more compact box as shown here.

« on: August 03, 2014, 10:00:48 PM »

Hi,

These have been discussed in a separate thread.

There are actually 3 variations, all commissioned by Mauser themselves:

The Mod. 80 SA, a direct FN HiPower copy.
The Mod. 90 DA, based on the S&W Model 56.
The Mod. 90 DA Compact, as above, but with slightly shorter slide/barrel.
