Model 1914 Pistol / Four Mauser Pocket Pistols - Need Help w/Identification
« on: September 18, 2018, 09:48:37 PM »
I recently purchased a small group of, I believe 1910-1914 Mauser pocket pistols. This is a post of the first one. I'll post other guns to follow.  I've never had any pistols from pre-WWI before. 


It would help me learn about these neat little pistols if I could have some help identifying the year and model of these Mausers, beginning with this one. I've tried to find a serial listing to help determine year of manufacture.  The closest I've come, is that this Mauser is that this pistol is 1910/34, Manufactured from 1936 to 1941, serial number range 401800-429000. That this is a t[/size]ype 2 serial number 423000-429000 milled slot for slide serial number. It seems correct, based on serial number range.  Can someone confirm whether that is correct or not?[/color]

C96 / C12 Broomhandle / wtb Grips for my C96 Broomhandle Mauser
« on: July 29, 2017, 03:16:13 PM »
I would like to find some used grips, with escutcheon, for my C96 Broomhandle Mauser.  I had a "frozen" escutcheon and the screw broke in half.  Lower came out.  Cannot get the screw head part out.  Failing the finding of some used ones, I'll need to go the reproduction route, but they will look new/phoney on the old girl.


Can anyone help me out?


Thanks in advance for your replies.

I would like your comments and thoughts about the rifle pictured.  What do you see? Is this an unaltered rifle? Is it a $1k plus rifle?


I look forward to your replies.  Thank you.

« on: February 03, 2017, 10:11:49 PM »
I've seen multiple ways of removing cosmoline from Mauser rifles i e Kerosine, gasoline, mineral spirits, Simple Green and hot water etc. I just saw a video on YouTube where a guy used a a heat gun another used his wife's hair dryer. Has anyone used a heat gun to remove cosmoline?


Here's his video.

Yugo 48 Rifle / Removing Cosmoline from Yugo M48 Rifle
« on: February 03, 2017, 04:26:02 PM »
I've seen several methods of removing cosmoline from rifles on YouTube etc.  Kerosene, gasoline, simple green and hot water, etc.


One fellow bought a heat gun for about 20 bucks and melted everything away in a jiffy.  He just took the M48 apart applied the heat and in a few minutes all parts were clean.


Has anyone ever used this method? What are your comments as I need to clean the compline off my M48.

« on: January 28, 2017, 03:09:55 AM »
I was traveling through my home state today and saw this 1914 Model Mauser in a pawn shop during a stop.  I'm going back through that area in a couple of days and would like your comments about the gun and it's price. There is some information on the sales tag that may help.


I'm looking forward to your comments and am grateful for your help.

Newbie question. On what places on the rifle would I look to determine if it is "numbers matching?"
Tihanks for teaching me!

C96 / C12 Broomhandle / C96 WWII
« on: January 08, 2017, 02:10:21 AM »
As a retired U.S. Army officer, I've always enjoyed military history and memorabilia.  Given retired pay (started some years ago) doesn't allow for a really big collection, I have a few. I just recently picked up a 1903 Springfield (w/bandoleer) and a 1944 serial number M1 Garand.  I also have a Yugo M48 for which I need to find clips and Ammo. However, how I obtained the C96 Mauser below I think is interesting.  It is all original. I can post more pix in a separate post or two, unless there's a way to post multiple pictures. I had a friend come over one day. He showed me this C96.  He said his father brought it back from WWII.  It sat in his fathers closet for over 50 years.  Subsequently, his father passed away.  Knowing I liked guns of all kinds, he said he didn't really have any interest in it and said he'd like me to have it.  How could I refuse?You can see how worn the case is and what surely look like homemade repairs with tacks and brass. The strap and the cord appear to be original to the gun as well.According to oldguns.net, the date of manufacture for the serial number (198345) is 1911 - 1915 but also says "standard prewar commercial models fall in the 39,000 to 274,000.I'm anxious to have your observations and comments.  I also need to find a great C96 gunsmith to check it out for me if you know of any.  I  don't intend to restore it, but perhaps clean it up to prevent further deterioration.  I'd love to shoot it. Many more pix, but only four here.  Thanks all!Lou2016 Utah State Cowboy Action Shooting Champion (Cattle Baron Class) (Old Farts) 😇NRA Life
