Little going on here
1914mauser:
It is sad to see such little activity going on here. Things do seem to be slower in general these days. I hope as things start to get back to normal this site sees the activity it deserves.

I have a question regarding the model and year of manufacture of a Mauser pistol I recently acquired. I have attached a picture. S/N is 108135
1914mauser:
Hello Tyler, Your pistol is a .32 caliber Mauser pocket model, a.k.a. a 1914 model. Yours was made in 1917 and was most likely used in WWI by the German Imperial army. You can confirm this by looking for a small stamped mark in front of the rear sight. There should also be a Crown/U proof mark behind the rear sight.

Thank you so much for the reply! Been boggling my mind between a 1910 and a 1914. It does indeed have the stamp in front of the rear sight and the crown U proof behind the rear sight.
1914mauser:
1910 is typically used to refer to .25 caliber Mauser pocket models and is also sometimes used when referring to all pistols of this design. There are at least a dozen designations to describe the variations. For example (1910, 1910/14, 1910/34, 1914, 1934, 1914 early production, 1910/14 new model, etc..........)
