First Mauser Pistol

(1/1)

birddogonyx:
I just purchased a Mauser 1914/34 in an estate. First Mauser I have ever owned, so I'm not real familiar with the firing pin/mechanism. Should there be a hole at the rear of the pistol where the spring is seated? Or is this missing something?
I've posted a few pictures. It is in excellent condition.

Welcome to the forum. You have correctly identified your pistol as a 1914/34 but I would add transitional type 2. The hole in the rear of the slide is where the striker/firing pin protrudes so the shooter can see the pistol is cocked.  Nothing is missing unless you dont see anything when it is cocked.
Regards,
 
 

birddogonyx:
Thank you! Unfortunately there is something missing, since there is just a hole. I've found one online, so I will order and then test fire. I paid $400 for the pistol, and now $50 for the firing pin, so I believe I am in this pistol at a decent price even with the new firing pin.
Thanks for your help.

birddogonyx:
Maybe someone can help. The only firing pin I can find is for a 1910 or 1914. Will this work with the 1914/34 transitional? And is this supposed to be a 1 piece part or a two piece part?
Any help will be much appreciated.
