Hard life 1914 Hamburg police

(1/2) > >>

pardt:
Going thru GB and saw this 1914 that saw service as a Hamburg police pistol as well as British proofed. Looks like it led a interesting but very hard and neglected life.https://www.gunbroker.com/item/777752563

Warbird:
Hard life indeed!  Interesting until I got to the bulge in the Barrel.  Wonder what happened there ...

1914mauser:
I have seen a few bulged barrels on vintage 7.65 pistols. I would think most were caused by a misfire that caused the first bullet to become lodged in the barrel followed by a second round that sent both projectiles out of the barrel but resulted in a bulge or ring. The seller of the hard life 1914 Hamburg police on GB sure is optimistic about its value.

Regards,

Warbird:
Almost happened to me once with Snub .38 (POS).  Fortunately, I did not see the hit and immediately ceased live fire to inspect.  Yep ... one in the Barrel.

pardt:
Yeah I was interested til I saw the bulged barrel. I have a non numbered replacement barrel that one could put on it but then you would lose the British nitro proofs. $200 maybe as it is now I would pay but not 350 plus shipping and transfer fee
