This is kind of a strange broom. It is configured like one of the French "Gendarme" pistols, full size frame and bolo length barrel, but has the Mauser trademark on the left side panel. Some strange things about it though, it has 9 Steyr stamped on the left side, a three digit serial number and a very strange marking by the serial on the barrel flat, the bolt and the frame. I believe the 9 Steyr was added at a later date, but the odd marking looks original. I have never had a chance to pick up a 9mm Steyr round to see if it would chamber. It is 9MM of some type and the follower is milled out a bit on top, I guess to improve feeding.
Anyone recognize this mark? Or have questions/comments?
