Model HSC Pistol / Re: Mauser HSc .32 cal. repair in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Mn area

Thanks Warbird. I left the gun and mags with a pretty skilled vet this last week. He thoroughly cleaned the gun and attempted tweaking both mags. One was the odd one that came with the gun - curved floorplate, and a new Triple K.
Neither will feed the first round without racking twice. I do like the gun, but was still avoiding the purchase on an original mag until I know nothing else is wrong. Appreciate your assistance.

Model HSC Pistol / Mauser HSc .32 cal. repair in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Mn area

Hello. I hope it is ok for me to inquire if anyone is capable, or knows of, repair in this area. I do have 2 magazines that are working, but only with a maximum of 6 cartridges. I suspect there is part wear that needs attention and/or part replacement. Thanks for any reply.

Hi again Warbird. Since I am now waiting for a proper mag I thought it was a good time to disassemble and clean. While watching a video the person 'racked' the slide with the hammer down and the safety off. My gun will not 'rack'. I suspect this may have something to do with the previous owner trying to use an improper magazine. I am not certain I am describing this situation properly. Suggestions, comments, thanks!

Hello again,
This exchange began in July of 2015 when my friend wanted to sell the gun. He changed his mind, but recently did sell to me with 2 other pistols.
Today I did attempt to fire, but it jammed, as you folks had cautioned. The floor plate is curved, which does not match up well with the gun, but I had to try. Any comments welcomed! Thanks.

You guys are too good at this, but now I have learned enough in the last few days to be somewhat hooked on nuance!
How could you tell the magazine was wrong? If I was going to buy the right one I sure would not want to be duped.
Would I dare try to shoot with it 'as is'? 

Thanks again,
Brian

Gents - I did understand the 7.65/32 cartridge situation, but I didn't follow the magazine subject - 1914 vs HSC - how do you tell apart?
Anyways - I attached a few more pics for your perusal. Thank u!

There is no stamping or embossing anywhere on the holster.
Based on the condition of this pistol, which I would rate barely as good, would any of you hazard a guess at its value? I appreciate all the input, as I had no Mauser knowledge except what I have learned since yesterday!

Hi pardt - I am having a heck of a time with my reply, but Thanks for trying to help me out! I have 5 shells that fit the mag, but don't know if they will load. On the base of the grip next to the mag release there is a k. When I disassembled I found the last 3 digits - 624, of the s/n in 2 places - inside the slide and on the machined part that holds the spring.

Hello warbird - thanks for your reply.
S/N 780624
The magazine does fit the gun, as I removed for the pic.
What pic(s) would you need?

Hello. I have a 7.65mm Mauser with serial 78xxxx. I think this is 1942 and considered Third Generation Army based on M135 marking. It has a little rust and worn grips with tattered holster. Could anyone advise if I am correct in my assumptions, and approximate value?
thank you!
