Model HSC Pistol / Re: 1943 Mauser HSc eagle /L rig Looking for history

I'm looking to trace the history of this particular pistol. Does anyone have capture papers on a similar e/L Hsc with magazines serialized similar to mine?


As for value, think about it, anything is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

I know it may be impossible to trace the pistol by serial number to the person or unit to which the pistol is was issued. Has anyone done research trying to link the style in which these pistols, magazines and holsters were serialized? The German were very routine in the way they did things. With that in mind,each unit may have marked the magazines and holsters the same fashion . I have seen at least one other pistol rig marked in the same "style " as mine. Just an idea. The fun is in the hunt. Thanks Ron

The only thing I have learned is that they are only found on the "police" acceptance stamped models and were not stamped by the factory at time of manufacture. 

Sounds like many police units were in the field.  I have an "L" from a POW camp according the vet. that captured it.  At least at this one POW camp the guards were considered "police".

Hi Jim, Do you know which POW camp?


Thanks Ron

I receI recently acquired a vet bring back Mauser HSc police rig. A real dresser drawer find. No import markings. Serial number 858661. All serial numbers are matching including the two magazines and holster. The holster is ink stamped inside "Primosa Stuttgart". Does anyone have the expertise to make a guess as to which branch of the WW2 German police this would have been issued to? Is it possible glean any more history of this gun from the markings?
