Late M1930 C96 pistol
« on: September 24, 2013, 11:19:28 AM »
I recently acquired this one, complete with original stock. Only small blemish was an old replacement of the stock attaching iron, something that needs correcting in the near future.

 This pistol is an example of the last production run of C96 pistols in the late 1930s. Serial number is 918566.

 An interesting marking on the area between the grips (above the stock lug) is a marking that resembles a Russian capture marking in the form of a roughly struck 'X'. The pistol retains its original finish and all parts are correct.
