Is that something that happens to old guns fairly often when fired? I'd absolutely love to shoot it but I don't think it'd be worth it if there is a fair chance of damaging it.  I'll try to post some pics so you can lay eyes on it.

By 95% finish, do you mean 95% of the finish is intact? It has been stored in the holster, probably for over 70 years, but I will make sure we store it properly. No word of any capture paper.
I do not plan on selling it, but I am interested in shooting it.  My mother thinks it's unsafe to shoot it bc it's so old, but I think it'll hold up fine. From what I've been told the 7.65mm is the same size as a .32. Do you think it's OK to take it to the range?
Thanks again for the insight.

Hello,  I've come across my grandfather's Mauser hsc 7.65 mm pistol, it appears to me to be military police issued during Ww2.  It has the n marking with eagle on the side of the trigger housing  and the other side has a different eagle with an L next to it. Serial number is 761xxx, I'm not in front of the gun now but can give you exact serial number if needed   It has a black leather holster with an extra clip pocket. Holster has no markings inside. The grip I'm assuming is walnut (not low screw).  Good condition, some pitting and scratches.
Can you tell me anymore information about this gun?  Thank you in advance.
From what my mother told me my grandfather was a tank mechanic in Germany so it's likely he would have picked it up behind the advancing tanks.
