C96 / C12 Broomhandle / Re: Officers pistol or Bolo discussion
« on: February 03, 2019, 03:34:30 PM »
In the book : Kleine waffen -Bibliothek- Heft 3- MauserStreifenlader Teil 2 .
Written by H.B Lockhoven.
-model 1916/1920 this is the shortend barrel 9 mm,rear sight fixed
- model 1912/1920 this is the shortend barrel 7,63 kaliber with the normal grip.
-model 1920 export,Bolo Mauser,factory made with 100mm barrel,small grip.
From the German weaponmagazine : Visier,March 2002:
Mauser build the compact models before 1914 but massproduction and sales to Russia and China
makes the Bolo famous.
And from many articles and books I have seen :
My opinion : some one at some time linked the short ,smallframe mauser,build in 1920 .
Most of them exported to Russia/China tot Blosheviks and named them Bolo.
In the years the name "bolo" became the nickname for every short model C96
Best regards ,Fred

Yes I think so too,and Mauser sold many to the russians so over the years we called the short
pistols all "Bolo"
So what is correct ? the old models with short barrel and small grips,6 and 10 shot mags are the
[size=78%] officer's [/size][/size][size=78%]models ? Then came the shortend models afther WW1 because of the " versailles" that forbid the 9mm[/size]
calibers and barrels longer than 100mm ?( called the 1920 reworks ?). ( but I have seen shortend
"red 9 models) .
And afther that Mauser began production of the short model in 7,63x25 with in large numbers
were sold to Russia ?( nick named Bolo ? )
I dont know. But it is very interesting.

Could it be ,that over the years it became common to name every short barrel C96 "bolo"?
Like every MP40 is called schmeisser ?

Hello, To my opinion : the name Bolo belongs to the models with short barrel and small grip,
witch can be used with the shoulder stock.Caliber 7,63x25.
The 1920 reworks with short barrels are not actual Bolo.Because not originally made with short barrels but shortend afther WW1 ( versailles ! )And as know do not have the small grip.

Very interesting,I did not know that the Knil used M1930 Mauser pistols.
Believed they were using C96 from WW1.Have seen info that German troops at the end of
the great war,retreated thru the south of Holland (Limburg ) and left there weapons on the Dutch
border.Some of the Mauser's found the way to the Knil.
