C96 / C12 Broomhandle / Re: Broomhadle prusian contract?
« on: March 18, 2021, 11:51:18 AM »
Didn't they sleeve the barrel? I have seen copies from China and the quality of machining (besides someone trying to polish the mill marks from side panels) on this gun looks too good for china copy. Their stamped lettering looks like crap compare to one on this. Beside I'm sure they didn't bother to put all marks on their guns. Doubt they would even stamped ser. numbers on anything.This gun has all the serial numbers even inside the bottom plate and internal components. Dovetailed front sight could be reworked. It even has proper sights 50-500. China usually put 1000m sights didn't they?

C96 / C12 Broomhandle / Broomhadle prusian contract?

Hi. I'm a new member that came across this interesting forum.
I've purchased a Broomhandle on auction that had a designation being 7.63 caliber. I found out it is actually 9mm.
As you can see the grips are not original although they appear to be on this gun for a very very long time.It is not a China bored and sleeved 9mm version. Bore has rifling and no apparent sleeve. It is fairly low number so the auctioneer must have think it is early Mauser. But each contract started from 1.
Could anyone of you forum experts confirm what it is? All numbers mach. Even on the bottom of the magazine plate and all internal components.
Thank you!
