Model HSC Pistol / Re: Mauser WWII Slide SN

Judging from the pitting, it was cleaned and blued over.
Since the slide number is only lightly electropenciled at the front below the muzzle opening, it is easy to remove it while cleaning and rebluing.

Model 1914 Pistol / Re: Help with a 1914 Pistol

Hi, nice gun.


The Prussian Eagle was a late war order to mark and identify non-P08 guns as government property.


The small acceptance mark in front of the rear sight indeed identifies it a military property.


Perhaps your magazine is at fault. Try putting some pressure on the magazine bottom and see if the firing pin moves.


I had quite a few pistols with similar issues, cured by either swapping or replacing mags.

Your serial number is way too high for a Low Grip Screw variation.


The Eagle/N is the standard commercial proof of those days.


Production year 1942.

Model HSC Pistol / Enter the Mauser HSr
« on: March 01, 2024, 11:49:12 AM »
Shown at the 2024 IWA.


A Sig Sauer P230 based 'Mauser' version, labeled HSr... in .22lr.

This was the only separately numbered end-of-contract range done for Interarms.


Some American Eagle marked overrun slides made it into german commercial production, numbered as regular HSc pistols.

Hi, it would have been made in 1970.

Model 1910 Pistol / Re: 1910/14 magazine question

Looks like your spring itself is riding a little low, it may have been installed incorrectly. It needs to go higher up in the frame.

These are quite collectable.


If you want to butcher a HSc, I would recommend finding something else.

Note that the wartime HSc has a disconnector that differs from the postwar version.


The wartime left grip requires a slot that clears the disconnector.

Yours is a late WW2 version. April, 1945.

01.27627 would be late 1971, early 1972.
Over 50 years old today and collectable indeed.


756642 appears to have a military acceptance at the left side. The commercial proofs on the right side are Eagle/N ones. Military accepted HSc's are desirable and collectable.

A wartime HSc that has been given a new number somewhere down the line. Hard to tell who applied it and why.

With the left grip removed, just press the triggerbar back in place, make sure it is seated well.


Keep some pressure on it, from the side, while installing the grip panel again.


It is quite normal for that bar to come loose, as it is held under pressure both front and rear.


Normal field strip after shooting only requires removal of the slide from the frame.


Proper method:
Check the pistol is empty.
Close the slide.
Cock the hammer.
Put safety on safe.
Press the release button and take off the slide.
Remove barrel and spring from the slide.


No further disassembly is required.
