Kingfish62:
Hello all, I'm new to the board and am looking for additional information on an Hsc that I recently picked up. I have attached pictures that show markings, serial number, condition, etc. From what I see so far it looks like production in 1941, civilian, I'm told it was probably special ordered as to the finish? Any additional information would be appreciated. Additionally wondering if Mauser records are available anywhere to see who may have been original owner?  Gun came with original holster and two magazines that are stamped with Mauser logo on bottom. Gun is in perfect working condition.

Kingfish62:
correction on production year, looks like 1942

Just another picture

Warbird:
Welcome, Kingfish62!  Your HSc was actually produced in February of 1942.  The nickel finish was probably added by the GI who brought it back to the U.S. as was common practice then.  The Mauser factory did not offer this type of finish until the 1970's.

Factory records do not exist since most were destroyed after WWII so only in extraordinary cases does any record of original ownership exist and that usually comes from the family.  The Grips may or may not be original ... I can only tell by seeing the back of the Left Grip Panel.  If you post a good picture of that I'll let you know.

Hope that helps.

Kingfish62:
Thank you for the reply, what would I look for on the grip panel?
