Interesting HSc users: The CIA.

[vlim]

Recently I was pointed towards a website with declassified CIA reports.


This yielded some interesting documents.


One document is a briefing and equiping document for a team that were sent into Yugoslavia via Greece in 1954.
The document lists the issued equipment for each members, and interestingly enough, mentions 3 Mauser pistols with their serial numbers. The numbers clearly show that these were Mauser HSc pistols.


Pistol number 907990 with holster, 21 rounds of ammo and 3 magazines.
Pistol number 821659 with holster, 21 rounds of ammo and 3 magazines.
Pistol number 904528 with holster, 21 rounds of ammo and 3 magazines.


Apart from those, they were equipped with Mauser K98 rifles and a 9mm 'Schmeisser' MP, number 6559.


Would be interesting to know if the 3 pistols still exist

None of the three reported in our database.  It would certainly be interesting to know where they are and where they have been.

Thank you for the research.  What an interesting topic and potentially a great find.
