A well used Sidelatch 1910

(1/1)

vlim:
After working on some Mauser documentation related to the M1910 production, including some Mauser calculation sheets and notes on the pocket pistol in the Mauser fiscal year accounts, I thought it was time to locate an example of a side latch, so I could take a good lock at the internals and the differences between the side latch and the later variations.

A fellow collector had one for sale, and I picked it up a while ago. The pistol had an interesting life, the magazine is a well made handcrafted replacement, and the barrel latch is also an old replacement, which was numbered to the pistol.

It is interesting to see the differences in engineering, and I was suprised to find that even the magazines did not exchange. Some of our findings will be published in a series of articles on the early days of the Mauser pocket pistols soon.

Sorry if this is an ignorant question, but what distinguishes a 1910 as a "Sidelatch"?  I own a 1910 and 3 1914 Mausers but know little about them.

Go to the main site, Gun Gallery, Mauser pistols, 1910 pocket model and look at my article under 1910 pocket models.
