Warbird: it matches (077) on slide:







Regarding the pictures - www.iwantthatknife.com is my website for selling knives and posting photos that I want to share on the web.  I was a little overzealous on the sizes of the HSc photos; I usually make them 1,000 pixels wide; those were 1,200.  The above is 900.

Model 1914 Pistol / Re: New Here but not to firearms discussions!

« on: August 11, 2018, 03:08:18 PM »

Warbird - Ive got a fair idea of value; 1914Mauser gave me a gentle course correction when I called a Mauser 1914 a 1934; WRT the HSc manufacture date (based on the serial number 747077) would be sometime in the 1941-42 time frame per the UnblinkingEye website.


The issue I have with it (and was answered by someone on GunBoards) is the hammer will not lock into single action.  I can manually manipulate the hammer, slowly, and get it to engage; I suspected there was a spring issue relating to the sear - and it seems there is.


Of course if you want to add any commentary about condition, etc. please do!

Model 1914 Pistol / New Here but not to firearms discussions!

Tim here.  Retired Coast Guard Chief Warrant Officer and retired Customs Inspector/CBP Officer.  I buy, sell, collect, and trade custom-made knives and collect and shoot firearms.  I recently (yesterday) added two German Mauser 7.65mm handguns; a Model 1914 (Second Variant New Model) Commercial that I bought from David Rachwel's website www.handgunsoftheworld.com.  I've bought some good guns at reasonable prices from David.  I also bought a Mid-War HSc 7.65mm from a friend who I am helping her to sell some of her deceased husband's guns.  Not knowing a lot about either of the guns now I know enough to be dangerous!  When I got home and looked at the markings on the HSC I learned that the HSc is a police pistol - Waffenamt with L on the left side of the trigger guard and a "bird" over an N on the right side.  It came with a leather flap holster that isn't correct; it is marked with a Waffenamt and letter code but is almost to difficult to read.







and a nice Crown U stamping:
