Model 1910 Pistol / Questions about the Mauser Model 1910

Hi all - New to the group.  My father liberated a Mauser Model 1910 from a German Officer at the end of WWII.  Recently, I got the urge to see if it would still fire.  My father thought that it was manufactured in the 30's or 40's.  When I took it to the range today, I found out that it was a much earlier model.  I brought a box of 25 cal ammo and fired it in the first time in about 70 years.  The problem is that it misfired every 4 to 5 rounds.  The primer was dented by the firing pin but the round did not fire.  I'm thinking it's the firing pin spring and, since it would fail to feed, I'm also thinking magazine spring.  It fired well and was accurate, a good, small handgun.  Any suggestions or thoughts for the veterans in the group.  Thanks for any information.

Regards,

Jim
