Pistols > Model HSC Pistol
I need help with identification.
Warbird:
Terrible photos since I can't make out the markings. But you said it had Army Acceptance Mark so from that and in the condition it appears to be, I would say it was valued at about $500 less the cost of the Magazine that was discussed. You can look on eBay for the proper Magazine at http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sop=1&_sacat=0&_nkw=mauser+hsc&rt=nc&_dmd=2 or on GunBroker.com under Search HSc.
Hope that helps. Anything else let me know.
pardt:
I also would value it around $500. For kicks and grins I tried a 1914 mag in a hsc and I can see that with a little modification it would work.

I edited your poor quality photos with some software. Here is the result. Just because a mag from another model
fits and functions does not help the value. It just makes the example a "shooter".
I like your holster. It is not Army. Too bad it is in terrible shape. The clousure stamp is fully attached to the rear of the holster. Only one manufacture did that style. You do not want to shoot that gun with those grips on it. They are old and brittle, but still in tact. You run the risk of running a good pair of grips. Get some post war grips for $20.00, if you are wanting to shoot it.

You guys are too good at this, but now I have learned enough in the last few days to be somewhat hooked on nuance!
How could you tell the magazine was wrong? If I was going to buy the right one I sure would not want to be duped.
Would I dare try to shoot with it 'as is'?
Thanks again,
Brian

Brian,
Never tried to fire an HSc with that model of mag. It may or may not feed correctly. May not feed at all. I attach some photos of a late war HSc magazine. Please don't ruin your nice wood grips. They look too good to be risking recoil. They may hold up just fine, but you are rolling the dice on $150 worth of original grips. There is a nice resource document that you should own distributed by Legacy Collectables. It is written by Alan Burnham with contribution from Peter Theodore. It is affordable. If you are going to collect the Mauser HSc, you should own this book. Warbird told you where to locate the proper mag.
