Broomie,


It is the 30 Mauser cal...... very interesting isn't it pre war commercial number but the pistol has most of the wartime commercial thing happening with it & the grips are numbered to the pistol

Hi Guys,


Just picked up this C96 & am very happy with it, all matching even the sear is numbered. The red & white dots on the side is that to have a firearm brought into Australia the safety must be marked so it can clearly be seen !!!! so that is why the marks are on it as this happened when the pistol was brought into the country. Now what about the safety From my limited research I thought this was a pre war commercial 1905-1906 but the safety is marked NS & is numbered to the pistol so does that then make it a wartime commercial ? The safety lever has a hole right through it too
Any help with my new addition would be very much appreciated.
Thanks & all the best.
Jason
