Title: Mauser 1910/34 year of manufacture
Post by: kgv1944 on August 09, 2024, 05:08:06 AM

Hello

First message on this forum.

I recently purchased a Mauser 1910/34 serial number 408270. After looking at the info on the forum I gather it was made between 1937 and 1939?

Thanks for the reply

Some pictures.
It was captured during the second world war and then spent next 75 years in the sock drawer.

And it came without the magazine.

Under the grips I found another mark - looks like half a star. What is the meaning of this mark.
Thank you.
Rudi

Your 1910/34 was made in 1934. The star marking is a factory inspector or machinist stamp used in the manufacturing process. The meaning of these small internal markings has been lost to time. Regards,

Thank you very much for your answer.

I was under the impression that rounded grips were only available after 1936.
