Model HSC Pistol / Re: HSc with no serial number.

 I was thinking in the same direction. Maybe assembled by someone for personal use or a black market job, rejected or spare parts. I just don't know why the slide is stamped that way and what 51400 could mean.
Thanks for the reply.

Model HSC Pistol / HSc with no serial number.

« on: December 31, 2017, 11:58:03 PM »

Hello to all and happy new year,
I'm trying to date and do some research on an HSc that I got used as a gift in the mid 1970s. My problem is that I can't locate a full serial number in the 700000 range or above, that should be on the frame. There is a partial # 196 both on the underside of the firing chamber stamped and the same #196 on the underside of the slide in electro pencil. The markings on the slide are strange too with no Mauser banner, no caliber indication and a # 51400 stamped under the MAUSER-WERKE A.G.OBERNDORF / NECKER.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.
