C96 / C12 Broomhandle / Re: Resleeving/relining C96 barrel

I have had two c96 barrels relined by redmondsrifling.com and was satisfied.  He usually has a long backlog and may not be taking in new work.  Cost was around $350

I appreciate your help in identification.  Reinforces my original thoughts.  I know it had a great deal of use as the barrel was slick as a shotgun when I acquired it, however I did have the barrel relined by Redman's.  I do look forward to shooting this piece of history.  Thanks again.

Attached are pics of the pistol.  Included are pics of where serial numbers can be seen externally as well as the top of the bolt where a number should be.  Hope these are adequate.  If you need more, I can certainly send them.

C96 / C12 Broomhandle / Prewar C96 serial numbers

« on: March 13, 2018, 03:28:27 PM »

I have a nice prewar c96 serial number 81217.  All numbers match except for the bolt stop (110) and the bolt.  The bolt has no serial number stamped on it.  It does have the double crown over U marking.  Was this common with prewar guns????
Also grips appear to be original but have no serial number on the inside.  Left grip has 26 grooves and right grip has 24.  Replacement/repo???
