Sounds like a decent price to me. I bought one cheaper, both the other 2 cost me more

Model 1910 Pistol / 1910/34 and magazine reunited
« on: December 30, 2013, 02:08:33 PM »
About a year ago, I purchased an example of a M1910/34 with the black plastic, Mauser-banner marked grips. The pistol came relatively cheap because it had one minor flaw: The magazine was missing. The pistol was purchased from a German gun dealer and all went smoothly.
During the last couple of months I had been on the lookout for a correct magazine, until I found a small add at one of the gun boards. A 1910/34 magazine with a buy-it-now price. I didn't hesitate as the price was good and it was the magazine type I was looking for.
To my surprise the contact info of the seller was the same of the seller who I bought the pistol from I looks like the magazine was lost somewhere along the way, being found again when the gun it belonged to had already been sold (to me 
).
So today I received my parcel and I was able to reunite the M1910/34 with its own magazine again.

Try contacting the best expert on the Model 66 variations: the guy who designed them.
Otto Repa is his name and he still lives in Oberndorf am Neckar. Drop me a PM and I will forward you his e-mail address.

Mauser Revolvers / Re: Mauser revolvers 1980 - 1998
« on: December 16, 2013, 06:42:49 PM »
Recently, a 'new' variation surfaced that I was not aware of.
The pistol is called the Mauser Model L22, chambered in .22lr, but although it looks like a revolver and the cilinder rotates open like any other revolver cilinder, it actually is a single shot pistol, shaped to look like a revolver.
They appear to have been made under license from Mauser by Umarex, probably for a market where single shot .22 pistols were easier to own legally. Pistols exist with 1993 proof markings, suggesting they were made at that time.

« on: October 23, 2013, 11:10:18 AM »
It was made by Renato Gamba in Italy.
A good chance that they still have parts available:

Mauser Lugers / Re: 1939 S/42
« on: October 04, 2013, 05:46:09 AM »
A 1939 pistol should not have strawed parts, but an overall salt dip blue.
Judging by your description the pistol has been refinished, which seriously affects the value. Photos will help, but I would be careful not to spend too much money on a refinished pistol.

General Mauser Pistol Questions / Re: Mauser M1910, WTP and WTP2 magazine blank
« on: October 01, 2013, 11:23:30 AM »
Here the magazine tube blank is shown in combination with a Mauser WTP2 magazine and pistol.
The overall shape of the magazine top of the M1910, WTP and WTP is quite similar in size and shape and the dimensions of the tubes of those pistols are identical, which makes sense as they all share a common caliber and were made at the same facilities.

General Mauser Pistol Questions / Mauser M1910, WTP and WTP2 magazine blank
« on: October 01, 2013, 11:22:18 AM »
This interesting little item was obtained from a source in Oberndorf am Neckar, and according to shape and size it offers an interesting view on the production of Mauser M1910, WTP and WTP2 magazines.
The tube is roughly 12.7 cm (4.72") long and it's diameter and shape is consistent with that of Mauser's M1910 pistols except for the early M1910 sidelatch, which uses a slightly narrower magazine tube), the WTP and WTP2 pistols in 6,35mm / .25 ACP.
The round cut at the base of the tube corresponds with the overall shape of the top of a .25 ACP magazine which suggests that the actual tubes were drawn even longer and that multiple magazine tubes could be made out of a single tube.
The tube snugly fits the magazine wells of all 3 pistols mentioned, with the exception of the M1910 sidelatch. The tube itself is drawn and shows no signs of welding or brazing.

Model HSC Pistol / Re: This is how you want to find your .32 ACP rounds.
« on: September 25, 2013, 06:57:38 AM »
This is the pistol that came with the bullets
It is a war time HSc, carefully refurbished and reblued in the typical 1970s Mauser blue used on the Mauser Parabellum and post war Mauser HSc pistols (Brunofix - Brunox). The grips are modified post war grips that have been stained and polished to a much higher lustre than the standard post war grips. A bonus is the original metal fingertip extension on the WW2 magazine.
The pistol came directly from Oberndorf and was in the possession of a Mauser worker who apperantly took considerable pride in restoring this pistol for his personal use as a hunting side arm.

The seller of my Italian M2 (with catalog number engraved on the slide) was kind enough to forward all the packing material he found, so I could complete a full set including the original cardboard box and the zip lock bags that contained the spare magazines.
Enjoy.

C96 / C12 Broomhandle / Late M1930 C96 pistol
« on: September 24, 2013, 11:19:28 AM »
I recently acquired this one, complete with original stock. Only small blemish was an old replacement of the stock attaching iron, something that needs correcting in the near future.
This pistol is an example of the last production run of C96 pistols in the late 1930s. Serial number is 918566.
An interesting marking on the area between the grips (above the stock lug) is a marking that resembles a Russian capture marking in the form of a roughly struck 'X'. The pistol retains its original finish and all parts are correct.

Mauser Lugers / Re: Mauser Banner / Military mix
« on: September 10, 2013, 05:59:19 AM »Quote
Commercial made/marked variants of military small arms of almost all variety were more or less common durring the war.
Military 9mm boxes with a commercial label are extremely rare. Commercial wartime ammunition was commercially packed in 25-round or 50-round boxes.
Quote
Some are rather rare such as the K98k rifles and many like the HSc, PP u. PPK pistols were very common.
And some like the P.38 had their own catagory for commercial made, in this case the Mod P.38.
You are comparing apples and oranges here. This is the section that discusses Mauser lugers, so I don't understand the need to talk about Walther pistols. Moreover, the HSc was a commercial pistol to start with and it ALWAYS has a Mauser banner on the slide. So again, I fail to see the relevance of your remark there.

Model HSC Pistol / Re: Un-numbered Examples
« on: August 20, 2013, 03:17:20 PM »
Well, it's simply a matter of dealing with the situation. Manufacturers of modern firearms have no reason to manufacture guns without serial numbers. And the law requires them to.
But old, collectible, guns do exist without serial number. And the fact that the number is lacking on some pistols makes them more collectible. So it is good that there are possibilities to own and collect such guns.
