Pistols > Model HSC Pistol
I need help with identification.
Warbird:
The correct Magazine for your vintage HSc would have a blue floorplate with the Mauser logo on it. The housing would be bare metal (in the white) with 7 lightning holes on each side.
Shooting with an incorrect Magazine such as yours may lead to feed jams and/or a dropped Magazine where it falls out of the pistol when fired. There is also a Magazine Safety that may not operate correctly. In this case, when the Slide is locked to the rear and a Magazine is inserted, the Slide goes into Battery (full forward) while chambering the first round.

If you end up keeping the gun you will find that they are like potato chips. You can't just have one.

Original photo you posted. Looks like you may have a CZ mag in that photo. I located a photo of them on the web to show you what a seller is calling a CZ mag.

Hello again,
This exchange began in July of 2015 when my friend wanted to sell the gun. He changed his mind, but recently did sell to me with 2 other pistols.
Today I did attempt to fire, but it jammed, as you folks had cautioned. The floor plate is curved, which does not match up well with the gun, but I had to try. Any comments welcomed! Thanks.
Warbird:
Well! Welcome back, Briefty! I don't know how much more we can add. It looks as though the pistol was stored in the leather Holster which ate away at the finish. Never a good practice!
I went through some of the books in my library and could not identify the Magazine. As a matter of fact, it may be homemade because there is absolutely no reason to curve the Floorplate like that. Every known example I looked at (well over 200) had a flat Floorplate.
After looking over all the photos, I am re-evaluating you HSc as "Fair 25%-85% Finish and Functional". That would bring down the value to about $250 to $300 which is a rough estimate of the parts in it. The Grips are by far the most valuable component in their current condition.
Bottom line, it's a shooter that will provide you with many hours of enjoyment at the range once you find a Magazine that works. Good luck!
