Hello Everyone,
May I begin by congratulating those responsible for the setting up of this site and making it available for all Mauser Pistol Buffs enthusiast & Collectors.
I saw & handled my first Mauser Broomhandle Pistol when I was 7 years of age - the moment I set my eyes upon it I was fascinated by the design and engineering. And decided I wanted to own such a Charismatic historic firearm when I was older. I am now 63 and started my collection in 1987 and haven't stopped collecting them since. In 1996 I decided to become a FFL or better know in the UK as an RFD Registered Firearms Dealer and have been buying & selling C96 Mauser Pistols & Luger Pistols including there Accessories - supplying Collectors and Museums, WW1 & WW11 re-enactment Groups from around the Worldwide.
In July 2014 I was fortunate to enough to have been invited as a Guest to attend The National Championships of Historical Military Pistols one of Spain's Largest Curio & Relic Shooting Clubs located in Valencia Spain. Among other Guests were Mauro Baudino renowned Author & Collector, Stephen Petroni (President of AMACs and Chairman of FESAC Foundation for European Society of Arms Collectors ) and Leonardo Antaris Author & Collector specializing in Astra Firearms. I would like to extend my warm greetings to Saludos Antonio A. Castellano, Alberto Sabatar & Valencia Shooting Club Members together with ARMAS Spain's Shooting Magazine for making this Classic Pistol Shooting event possible.
I would be happy to answer any questions either via the forum or privately by email.
Kind Regards
Charles Murray-Roscoe
