Title: Transitional Model 1910 - Lots of Pictures and Questions
Post by: Krivak957 on November 14, 2017, 02:42:50 AM
Model 1910 - Serial No. 99803.  All numbers match.  But, this 6.35 mm gun appears to have a mix of characteristics of both Model 1910 and 1914, as follows:

More Questions:
  • When was this gun manufactured? (Everyone has to ask this one!)
  • What is the meaning of the engraving “R. Bödecker Hamburg.”?  Is this a personal name?  A sales agent name?  A police agency name?
  • Is this the correct magazine for this gun?  It is a VERY tight fit.  But, it activates/releases slide hold-open correctly.
  • Gun fires but will not extract cases. Cases get stuck in barrel about half-way out; must be driven out with dowel.  Is magazine possibly blocking cases from extraction?  Is there some other cause for stuck cases?  Anyone else have similar problem?

First a clarification, you have a 1910/14 New Model. Made after the Sidelatch model.

Manufacture date 1914-1915, I'll have to check data, for exact year, I do not have access to at the moment.

I would think the engraving is a previous owners name and hometown.

The magazine is correct for this model variation. Called a "Split or T-tail" magazine.

Sounds like an extractor, ejector issue. A competent gunsmith should be able to tell.

Welcome to the forum!

Did you get a chance to check the manufacturing date for this serial number yet?

Pardon the delay, I honestly forgot to check. 1917 is the year of manufacture according to the data I have.
