From what I've been able to dig up, this the same basic version that was in production during WWI. Are we able to narrow down a year that this might have been manufactured?
I'll know for certain once I get it in hand (these are the seller's photos, not my own), but I think I see a commercial mark in one of the photos I've got. I don't have a great view of that bit of the gun.
Many of the post WWI examples with the single line address were used and marked by Weimar police departments. Yours appears to be an un-marked commercial example. Any government owned example would bare a "1920" marking. Regards,
If I may please add my 1914 to our thread, 190704, only crown/U proof, no military, can this be dated, please?
By the way, these are great pistols, cheers, Joe.
Well, I guess I should add my assorted Mauser 1914 Serial Numbers, just in case someone's interested. If they are, please see my semi recent Posts here on the Forum should you wish any specific information pertaining to any of them ? Their respective Serial Numbers are; # 123520, # 246092, & lastly # 256545. I've always been partial to these little Mausers, as they were very prolific within the German Polizei Forces, having served from the beginning of the 'Great War', though to the end of WW2 & very possibly thereafter to an extent ?
Sorry, I was in a bit of a rush yesterday. Since it was a thread about a Mauser 1914 and others with them I assumed it would have been implied.
But, yes, it's a 32acp 1914 I was inquiring about.
Interesting. Thanks again for the information. I appreciate it.
