Just recieved 2 deactivated c96 bolts from an old German collector.
Pic 1: the two bolts
Pic 2: same , with a bolo bolt
-
Large ring and cone hammer ?
-
The one on the left is from the big ring hammers. The lock on the right is said to come from a bolo with a small ring hammer with the serial number 40398.
-
40398 ? there is only 398 visible.

Since I can speak English with a translation program, I prefer to show two pictures of the N 40216 pistol. You will understand the rest.
Best regards,

May I ask what number is on the large ring hammer clasp?
-
number
-
Bolt

Thank you so much!
And this is what the C96 looked like, from which your lock number 20467 comes.

I may be wrong (I've only been collecting C96's for about 6 years), but I believe the bolt on the left is from a Cone Hammer. The firing pin was changed to the "lug type" with the Large Ring.The bolt on the right appears to have the "lug type" firing pin with two lugs. This is confusing because it also has the long extractor. I thought the two lug firing pin was introduced along with the short extractor with the small ring model.

I have already shown which weapon this lock comes from.
Despite the fact that the lock on the left resembles a Conehammer lock, it is certainly the lock of a Large Ring Hammer model. The round cutout at the end of the lock was specially made for the hammer of the large ring hammer.
