Model HSC Pistol / Re: Nickel plated HSc information

Jim,
The magazines are standard Mauser mags. It looks as tho one magazine might have been polished to match the pistol. The other mag is definitely unmolested and shows 65 years of normal wear. The only markings that are visible is the Mauser logo that is stamped on the bottom of the magazine.

Apparently my wife’s grandfather obtained the pistol from a US Army helicopter pilot in 1967. The pilot sold it to her grandfather for $50 (he still has the handwritten receipt with all the names including another officer who was the witness of the sale!!). This pilot had acquired the pistol sometime in 1965 and was returning back to the United States and wanted to sell it to her grandfather for personal protection. He said that it had come in handy on several occasions. I will try to have him elaborate on what those occasions might have been. The pistol came with two magazines and the original black holster. It’s a pretty neat little pistol and I would like to learn more about it. Thank you for all of the information that has been provided so far!

Model HSC Pistol / Nickel plated HSc information

I recently inherited a Mauser-Werke A.G. Oberndorf a.N. Mod. HSc Kal. 7.65 mm. From the research i have conducted (only 2 days!) I can only find examples of pistols that have blued finish. Mine appears to have a nickel finish, with black plastic grips. There are two numbers that appear on the pistol, first is on the forward part magazine well (970446) and the second number is on the bottom of the magazine well (2179). Is there anyone who can help me decipher these numbers and provide me a resource to research the history of this pistol further? Thank You
