General Discussion / Re: The old site

If you can, I think it would be great to retain the Gun Gallery portion of the old site. It is a great resource for those who need a quick reference to the different items that Mauser produced. It could even be expanded on some to cover some less encountered items that are not listed. I would be happy to help with this if you like. Again thank you for all you do here and I hope this site will grow and pick up some sponsors to lighten the finical burden.

Kind Regards,
Burgess

General Discussion / The old site
« on: April 30, 2015, 12:29:01 PM »
Hi Tim,
I have noticed some things that I wanted to bring to your attention. I tried to go to oldmauserguns.com this morning and could not connect to the site. Someone on another forum wanted to view my article and I could not provide a working link. I have also noticed there is no way to view it or some of the other good information that is on the old site from the new pages. I was wondering if you plan to incorporate any of those old links here or if the forum is going to be the main focus of this site and the old will eventually go away? I have very much appreciated your hosting this site and if there is anything I can do to help please just let me know.
I hope all is well with you and yours.

Regards,
Burgess Mason

C96 / C12 Broomhandle / Re: What's This Proof Mark C-96/M-30

Is it on the hammer? I have seen markings like this before. I think it is most likely a production mark, made during manufacture by an inspector or machinist showing it met or failed tolerances.

You'll need to post some pictures for us to figure out what you have.

Model 1914 Pistol / Re: Approximate production date of my pistol
« on: April 22, 2015, 07:07:02 PM »
It was made in 1927. Because it is marked "Germany" it was most likely exported. Many were sold in America and other countries through out the world. Yours is the second most common variation with over 100,000 like it made. There is not much more that can be said about it other than value which will depend on condition. If you would like an estimate please provide pictures.

Because it is a parts gun, non matching there is little you could do to hurt or increase value. If it works and it can be safely fired you have a shooter worth $200-250 retail.

I agree, it sounds like the top of the magazine catch may be on the wrong side of the hold open device.

I do not have the table to look up the exact year with me but I will later and will post the year but I can say that it is mid 1920s production.

Please confirm the caliber of your pistol and the complete serial number for correct year of production.

Model 1910 Pistol / Re: Mauser export during WWI?
« on: March 27, 2015, 06:52:13 AM »
As I understand it the Duke was assassinated with a Browning/FN (potato-potato) .32 but Browning made more than 1 model in .32 so I do not know if you have the same model. Also I am a Mauser student and I am very focused on that, so you will need a Browning or a WWI history guy to reply to that question or you can do a little research on your own. The Internet is a wonderful research tool.

Model 1910 Pistol / Re: Mauser export during WWI?
« on: March 25, 2015, 01:10:18 PM »
I cannot state a clear month and year Mauser stopped exporting during WWI. As far as production, specifically of the pocket models it is clear that the majority, if not all of the .32 caliber pocket models were Imperially accepted (went to the German armed forces). Production of the .25 caliber model was greatly reduced and may of even stopped at some point during WWI. This may be why there appears to be a gap in .25 caliber serial numbers that would have been used during the war years. This occurs in the 1910/14 new model variation.

C96 / C12 Broomhandle / Re: Earliest known C96 in 9mm?
« on: March 22, 2015, 07:01:17 AM »
No, There were some C96s that were chambered in 9mm Mauser and possibly even 9mm luger that pre-date the Red-9 contract. Your 2 are very nice. I saw your post on Still's forum.

Hello and welcome to the forum. Serial number 1 was made but if it still exist is unknown to me. I have seen SN 9 on another forum. You do know that the Red-9s have their own serial number range? There are earlier C-96s in 9mm but your question seems to be specifically about the Red-9s.

Model HSC Pistol / Re: HSc 7.65mm Owners Manual
« on: March 15, 2015, 12:06:57 PM »
Hi Tim,
Welcome to the forum. There is a chart in a thread that is a sticky of this forum where you can look up the date of manufacture but yours is a WWII pistol made in the 1940s. I don't know where you can download a manual but there are reproduction ones out there, I have one. Originals are very pricy. Read threads here to learn more. Warbird is an authority on HSCs and has a book out if you want the best reference available.

Regards,
