  1. 1900-1918 : German (non-P08) Pistols & Holsters
    Hello all, years ago I picked up a c96 conehammer with all matching parts besides the hammer (waiting for ordered replacement) and safety (ordered replacement) It’s serial is 11,357 and engraved on the side of it is: Robert Jones 42 Manchester street Liverpool No. 2357 with the engraving...
  2. German: German Mfg. (non-P08) Pistols & Holsters.
    New gun to the collection, my first bolo/6 shot. Been wanting a 6-shot for a while and was finally able to get one. This gun came with a stock which is numbered, its shorter than my repro stock. This gun has been restored, but that's ok imo. It will definitely stand out compared to my other...
  3. 1900-1918 : German (non-P08) Pistols & Holsters
    I just tried to post this and spent a very long time writing out the backstory then somehow lost it. So I can add it again later if anyone’s actually interested. I don’t know much about the history of the gun except that it was stored for at least the last 50 years. I’m not a collector but when...
  4. German: German Mfg. (non-P08) Pistols & Holsters.
    Finally got around to firing my grandfathers all matching M1920 French Gendarme C96 Mauser. This example was produced by Mauser for the French Gendarmerie Nationale occupational police forces following WWI. The stock does not match and is a WWI German example, but functions all the same. My...
  5. German: German Mfg. (non-P08) Pistols & Holsters.
    I'm looking at potentially purchasing this C96 'Broomhandle' Mauser, and wanted to gather the thoughts/opinions of the community. This is a very salty example of what I believe to be a 1932, early 1930 commercial model. It has some unusual markings on the right side, which may suggest an export...
  6. New Collectors Board
    I searched around the forums and found some answers. I'm mostly curious on how most collectors usually find their pieces for their collection. I'm getting into more C96's patiently awaiting for some variations to come up for sale. I was wondering if there are other resources or places I maybe...
  7. New Collectors Board
    I been looking for another C96 for my collection and came across this one. This is a mixed numbers gun with the majority of parts stamped with 1616, other parts are stamped 3108 I believe. I'm assuming that it might be a Navy Flatside c96 because of the serial numbers, but I could be wrong...
  8. 1900-1918 : German (non-P08) Pistols & Holsters
    I have recently received what I believe to be a 9mm Mauser C96. I have not figured out whether it is an authentic "Red 9" or not. Upon carefully dropping a pin into the barrel, I got a rough I.D of .348. Which makes me believe it is a 9mm. It also comes with the 500 yard sights, 14 inch barrel...

  10. German: Foreign Mfg. Pistols and Holsters.
    The bore is about 80 percent. Still works completely. No stock. Condition is probably like 80-90 percent there from what I can see. This is not mine yet btw. I’m trying to think up a fair offer.
  11. German: German Mfg. (non-P08) Pistols & Holsters.
    Hello, I'm curious about what is known as the C96 French Gendarmerie model I know that there was a small contract of approximately 2000 guns. Is there a serial number range for the contract? Also were they all fitted with 50-100m Tangent sights? Were there any models known to be fitted with...
  12. Mauser Pistols, Revolvers & Holsters, 1968-now
    I have a Bolo (around 1920 mfg) that does not cycle and eject. I replaced the extractor which functions. Upon firing the Mauser 7.63 round the slide does not recoil with enough energy to eject. I can pull the slide back and eject the brass case, so the extractor and ejector do function. Has...

  13. 1900-1918 : German (non-P08) Pistols & Holsters
    Watched a forgotten weapons video and 4 serial ranges were mentioned. Yet I found one for sale outside those ranges. Have others been found in the 108xxx range?
  14. 1900-1918 : German (non-P08) Pistols & Holsters
    Hello, I recently got my hands on a C96 “Red 9” in excellent condition. I have been trying to find out more about the unit markings. Someone at thehighroad recommended this site to me. For the record, all parts are matching (including the grips), and there is a crowned eagle on the front of the...
  15. 1900-1918 : German (non-P08) Pistols & Holsters
    I recently purchased a c96 with the marking "P.L.2.18" on the front grip. The serial number is 124xxx, it is in 7.63mm, and it has a 1920 rework stamp but does not appear to have been reworked (barrel not cut). I'm trying to figure out what "P.L.2.18" represents. The combination of letters...
  16. 1900-1918 : German (non-P08) Pistols & Holsters
    Friends - I need your input on this broomhandle. These are all the pictures I have and I know they aren't perfect. Do you have any concerns or reservations from what you see? The biggest thing that jumps out at me is that this is nowhere near the 24 grooves it should have. I believe I counted...
