Best guess is it is a pre-war (WWI) commercial made 1900-1912. It has a U.S. retailer marking. The front sight and grips have been modified. Value is in the $1000-1500 range. Regards,

Welcome to the forum. Your 1910/14 Mauser was made in 1925. It is one of the most common variations of the .25 caliber pocket model. Feeding problems are usually due to the ammo, magazine or springs. Regards,

I have heard of these grips though this is the first pair I have seen outside of books. I believe them to be original because I have not heard of them being re-produced. These may of been made by a company other than Mauser as plastic or Bakelite is a specialty to manufacture. Regards,

It sounds like a mis-matched example. I would need to see some pictures to provide an estimate of value. Regards,

When you say, new clip, is it an aftermarket magazine? the problem you describe is usually the feed lips of the magazine. Aftermarket magazines are known to have feeding problems. If you can find an original magazine in good condition they usually do not have issues. Regards,
