Hi, my main focus is wartime guns, but I got a chance to acquire this at what I believe is a very reasonable price, and I bought it. I researched it in the [very good] Mauser HSc Pistol Book Mauser (Burnham / Theodore), and I think it's legitimate and perhaps rare due to condition. I'm looking for some feedback. Thanks,

This May 1945 Post-War HSc certainly is in excellent condition but I would not use the word "rare" to describe it. My own 952412 is in the same condition. I would place a value of $600 on it. Congratulations!

warbird, thanks, I only used the term rare based on the [Burnham / Theodore] book comment that post-war French HScs are usually in poor condition. Perhaps I read too much into it. In any case, I paid considerably less than $600, so am happy with the acquisition. I also acquired a blued version with wood grips, that I will post at some point. Thank you

What a nice example. Congratulations. Your grip screws appear to be even phosphate. Good job!

Jim, thanks, yes, the screws are phosphate and don't look like they have had a screw driver in them since the gun was manufactured. I'm really happy to have it.

Roger,
Very nice acquisition. I actually saw this one before you snagged it. I was itching to drop the hammer but held back in anticipation of funding needed for a KM marked 1934 (which I didn't end up with). She is a beauty and will round out the "French Connection" of an HSc collection well. Congrats!! Perhaps a "bird" in hand is indeed worth a KM in the bush! Happy Holidays my friends....hopefully HScs for all in the New Year!
