Hello
Is his rare, a m. 1914 with eagle/655 with rear thang marking?
Thanks!

This is not a 1914 it is a 1934 with a 1914 grip. The serial number and slide address are clear indicators that it is a 1934 even if it did not have the Eagle/655 acceptance mark and test proof which are only found on 1934s. It will have an Eagle/N proof as these were made after 1940. It does have the BLOCK address which is less common than the ITALICstyle.

Good to know - thank you!
Can you say something more regarding the block adress?
How many of these 1934 with this eagle/655 is known or made?
thank you!

The estimated number of Eagle/655 1934s is 8000. My best guess is about 10% may have the block address.

Gebird, I have a couple 1934 Mauser's not to far off serial # wise from you. And both are 655 marked. They are consecutively serial numbers. One has the block lettering like the one you show. Interesting pistols and cool to see one so close to mine # wise. (The one you show is about 100 # off of mine) thanks for showing.
