C96 / C12 Broomhandle / Broomhandle Pistol 1896-1936

« on: November 13, 2016, 09:03:46 PM »

I have a 1985 first edition first printing of the Wayne R. Erickson and Charles E. Pate book "The Broomhandle Pistol, 1896-1936"  Autographed by Pate on frontispiece. Hard cover, like new condition, no damage.  I've had it packed away for over 10 years with a number of other gun books, and just ran across it.  I tried to locate one on eBay to see what it's value might be to determine if it is worthwhile to list it for sale there, but couldn't find anything.  I am not a Mauser broomhandle collector, but thought someone here would know more about it.  Any comments?

General Discussion / French Police M1920 Mauser Holster

« on: December 06, 2014, 12:15:20 AM »

I recently acquired a leather holster which may well be one for the 1920 order of 3.9" barrel Mausers for the French National Police.  No one I have contacted seems to know what it is.  Please respond if you know anything about such holsters and can identify it.
