bigbore44:
Thank you, 1914mauser. I appreciate both your taking the time to reply and your insight.
May I take advantage of your expertise on one other question?
My purchase also included a manual in excellent condition. It appears "original" but being in English if it is original I would assume it came with a post war gun.
Or, it could be a reproduction. I'd appreciate your opinion. The color of the cover doesn't show up well in my photos. It's a sort of "mottled" brownish color.
Regards, BB44

I watched this auction. It had a white Franzinite grip too. I think your manual is an original but I cannot say for sure. I think most of the reprints have a greenish pastel cover. The manuals were printed in German and English, possibly other languages too.
Regards,
Burgess

Great thanks for your replies, Burgess. I appreciate them.
Yes, you're correct. The gun also included a, what appear to be never used, straight back, faux ivory, Franzinite wraparound grip to fit a model 1914.
I don't imagine there's much demand or value in them but, having no use for them, I'll probably offer them on the classifieds here and on Fleabay.
Do you have any sense of "fair value" on both the original Model 1934 bakelite grip pictured above, and the faux ivory model 1914?
(The tiny "chips" along the inside leading edge of the 1934 grip are pretty much indistinguishable if the grip is mounted.)
Regards, Lance
PS If you watched the GB auction on my pistol did you happen to see the absolutely pristine Model 1934 that was running at the same time? It ended up going for a bit over $600. I think it was worth a lot more.
It appeared new with a superb shinny blue finish. (not re-blued) Someone, imo, really got a great deal on that piece.

Lance,
The original Model 1934 bakelite grip $75-100.
The straight back, faux ivory, Franzinite wraparound grip to fit a model 1914 $25-50.
(These are auction estimates)
I think $600 is a fair price for a commercial 1934 in excellent condition. I would add $200 for mint plastic grip. Those tiny chips hurts your grip. It would have to have Army, Navy or police markings to go higher. Just MHO.
Regards,
Burgess
