General Mauser Pistol Questions / Pocket Pistol grip screws

« on: August 20, 2017, 07:26:37 PM »

Are the 1910, 1914 and 1934 Mauser Pistol grip screws the same? I have some that I plan on selling but am working in ND for the summer so I don't have my pistols to compare them to so I know for sure. The screws in question came together in a mixed lot I aquired.

C96 / C12 Broomhandle / Long barreled c96

« on: July 30, 2017, 09:40:50 PM »

Ran across a listing for the pictured pistol as well as another lower receiver and a upper. I freely admit I know very little about the c96 and was wondering if the long barreled receiver is someone's gunsmith project or? The ad has basically no information other Than the pictures. Any thoughts on value I guess simply assuming it's non matching numbers?

Model 1910 Pistol / 1910 British proofed.

« on: June 15, 2017, 09:48:01 PM »

Saw this 1910 on gunbroker, it has what I presume to be British proofs on the barrel. it is cool to me as I don't see many of these pistols that are British proofed.

Model 1914 Pistol / 1914/34 Scandinavian pistols

« on: February 15, 2017, 01:25:35 PM »

Is there any additional information on the so called 14/34 Scandinavian police pistols than what is in penders book?
I know that before you buy is the time to research not after but I just bought a pair. I didn't have any in my collection and I thought the price reasonable. They have the bakalite grips and lanyard loops with the milled slot in the slide for the serial number. For 1914mauser the full serials are 498671 and 498672
Edit, I just ran across the thread on the Luger gunboard forum about the lanyard ring examples, so I guess I will have to be content with just filling a slot in my collection with the pair. I asked the seller if he had any information on them and it was just a case where the father owned them, passed away and the children had no interest in them.

Model 1914 Pistol / "lunch box special" 1914 Mauser

« on: July 25, 2016, 11:12:43 PM »

What is everyone's thoughts on the advertised "lunch box" 1914 Mauser currently on gunbroker? I cant tell if it lacks proofs in addition to the serial numbers. Currently waiting for a response from the seller on that.

Model 1914 Pistol / 1914 Mauser with added number to serial?

« on: February 16, 2016, 01:03:01 PM »

This pistol is for sale and I am sure a few other people have seen it. My question is about the first digit of the serial number. It looks to be a odd font as well as double struck. On this particular pistol the front grip strap is marked S.M.g.69 which is I believe madgeburg police. There is faint remnants of a previous marking that I cannot make out as well.
 So any theory's are welcome including any opinion on if the serial has been bubba tized for whoever knows why or if it's a legit serial number die that was messed up in the factory

Model 1914 Pistol / Unit mark legit?

« on: September 22, 2015, 08:46:21 PM »

This gun is on gunbroker and I freely admit I do not know much about unit marks. However with it being a poor photo doesn't help but it looks to fresh to me. Any other opinions out there?

Model 1914 Pistol / 1914 marking by trigger

« on: August 31, 2015, 11:12:34 PM »

I believe I saw this In a thread before but I can't remember what the consensus was to its meaning, I can't remember if if it was on this forum or the luger gun board. It is on a 1914 in the 230k serial range on gunbroker. The pistol has been on auto relist and hasn't sold

Model HSC Pistol / post war hsc American Eagle

« on: May 24, 2015, 08:25:27 AM »

I recently won a auction for consecutive # American eagle .380 American eagle hsc pistols. I picked them up the other day from my local ffl and I have to say I am pretty happy with them. They still have the cardboard sleeves, box, manual, factory test targets, even down to the original desiccant packet. They look like they have not been fired since they left the factory. Best part is even after adding in the shipping and ffl fees I only paid $900 for the pair which I think was a good deal.
I hope you all don't mind me gloating to much but I had to share.
I tried to attatch a couple photos but the file size was to large, I will have to play around with them and try and upload later

Model HSC Pistol / hsc value.

« on: May 11, 2015, 06:15:39 PM »

I stopped in a gun shop I normally don't go out of my way to see today and lo and behold they have a hsc for sale. I am not really in the market at the moment as I have been working on rounding out other areas in my collection. I have a few hsc but only one commercial example, so I am not really versed in the commercial hsc market, does it matter what variation commercial it is? This is a late example in the 917xxx serial range ( I would provide the full # but I didn't write it down) I would estimate it at a easy 97% gun. The price seems good but I have a earlier commercial example but this is a higher condition gun and so therefore I am thinking of upgrading it. What are everyone's estimate? Thank you

Model 1914 Pistol / markings on a 1914 barrel

« on: January 26, 2015, 08:03:57 PM »

I posses a 1914 with a barrel that doesn't have any of the normal proofs or markings. No nitro proofs of any kind and not numbered in the usual spots. However on the bottom side is what appears to be mark that looks like a crest followed by the letter c and the #425. The #425  does not match any of the serial #.
The barrel also looks cruder than other replacement barrels I have seen.
Maybe I am making much to do over nothing but I thought I might ask what other people have observed.

Model 1914 Pistol / police marked 1914 with odd serial #

« on: January 09, 2015, 01:23:01 PM »

I was looking at gunbroker and saw a 1914 Mauser with a serial # of 163 with the slide and frame both having those # and it looked like the barrel also had just the 3 digit #. However the slide is definetly post ww1. The gun has police markings. Any thoughts ?

« on: July 19, 2014, 02:53:14 PM »

I am away from home on vacation and happened across a 1895 model Chilean Mauser. It appears to be all matching down to the cleaning rod. Stock is unsanded and numbered to the gun. All my books are at home. Is this a desirable gun? And if so what's a good price? No import marks. 90- 93% condition. Any help is appreciated

« on: July 12, 2014, 07:51:31 PM »

On gunbroker under the search 1910 Mauser there is a pistol with supposedly a threaded muzzle with some sort of attachment. Has anyone else taken a look at it? Was it some form of factory option or is it someone with some metal working skills creation?
