Model 1910 Pistol / Re: Questions about the Mauser Model 1910
« on: March 30, 2015, 09:34:27 PM »
Wolff spring challenge. Bought a service pack for the 1910, serial number 10063. The striker spring was most important to me, but it doesn't fit. It is longer than the original, but I could make that work. The problem is that is a bigger diameter and doesn't fit into the striker cylinder... You know how the back of the striker is hollow to allow the spring to slide in about a half inch. That half inch, plus the extra length, doesn't allow the slide to move back enough to lock open. I did the stretch that Burgess recommended on my original... Have a call into Wolff... I will report the outcome.


The whole reason I wanted the springs was because I experienced some light strikes, but while I'm at it... The recoil spring they sent is also substantially longer than the original. I got it in and working, but now I'm thinking it might be too strong, and... Wrong.


Just a heads up for those who might be going this route!

You rock, Burgess! Having this little gun has sent me on a journey learning about WWI.


About a year ago I found a Browning designed FN in .32 ACP. As I understand, it is the model of pistol that was used to assassinate Arch Duke Ferdinand, if I'm correct.


These little pistols have given me great joy.

Model 1910 Pistol / Mauser export during WWI?

I was wondering if/when Mauser stopped exporting the Model 1910 to the USA. I am open to bonafide facts and to opinions and wild guesses

Griffin & Howe says they now have records of the sales of VL&D from 1900 to 1929, or thereabouts... I emailed them about how many of these exist. Hope to hear back!

Other side... Those two detail shots were taken in the Pawn Shop before purchasing, hence the zip tie on the trigger... And the dirty condition!
