Transitional Model 1910 - Lots of Pictures and Questions

(1/1)

Krivak957:
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:
[/size]
* Left side legend: Letter sans serif: WAFFENFABRIK MAUSER A.-G. OBERNDORF [/size]A.N. MAUSER'S PATENT.
* Right side legend: None (except double crown over U proof mark)
* Serial number: 99803 on left slide extension; 803 on rear of frame
* Frame: 5.051" long (128.4mm); Rear portion above grip slants up
* Slide serrations: 9 triangle cut
* Slide plate: [/size]No latch; engraved with “R. Bödecker [Mauser Banner] Hamburg.”
* Cocking indicator: Separate piece from the firing pin; does not show unless cocked; protrudes significantly when cocked
* Magazine: (may be wrong style) Machined follower; oversized floorplate
* Magazine safety: Yes - gun will not fire without magazine inserted
* Magazine release: Machined steel with transverse triangle-cut grooves
* Extractor: 1.67"long (42.5mm); uniform width
* Ejector: Appears to have ejector with slide-hold mechanism
* Slide hold-open mechanism: Yes
* Barrel retention pin: Smooth without serial no.; recoil spring has separate guide (tube)
* Safety lever: 0.4" long (10mm) slopes outward
* Safety button: flat with circular grooves
* Disconnector: Not sure...

Krivak957:
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?More photos to follow.

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!

Krivak957:
Did you get a chance to check the manufacturing date for this serial number yet?

1914mauser:
Pardon the delay, I honestly forgot to check. 1917 is the year of manufacture according to the data I have.
