Model HSC Pistol / Police Issue HSc

« on: December 01, 2017, 01:34:00 PM »

I am hoping to have your thoughts on a recent acquisition.  I believe I managed to purchase a 1942 Police issued Mauser HSc.


1) Serial number potentially indicates Early Wartime (preAugust), 1942
2) Eagle/L acceptance stamp. 
3) Magazine (Flat metal floor plate with Mauser banner)
4) Tapered magazine release and machined lanyard loop hole
5) Partial serial number on slide (electro pencil
6) Partial serial on barrel (stamped)


Assuming I have not been duped on the above, would this be a Variation 1 or 2.  The firing block is a "Long Block" design.  I am not sure what differentiates a variation 1 vs. variation 2. 


Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.... oh one last question... how can you tell if the wooden grips are authentic and not just old or old looking!

Model HSC Pistol / Complete Dismantle

« on: November 25, 2017, 02:16:21 PM »

Good afternoon...  I am new member and I wish to first thank all of the legacy members who have built this wonderful forum.  I have already greatly benefited from the many posts and information within...


I recently purchased a commercial model HSc and I wish to completely dismantle the firearm, clean, and rebuild.  Are there any definitive guides that detail the proper techniques/methods to disassemble a Mauser HSc. Can you please suggest cleaning solvents that would be appropriate to use. I wish to bring this particular firearm back to bristol condition.
