Does any Mauser Model 1934 collector have the number of mausers produced each year 1934-1940? If anyone does, do you also have the serial numbers for that year? I know I am asking the improbable. Bob
Bob,
I have some of the information you are looking for which was printed in the June 1999 issue of NAPCA's Automag magazine. It was submitted by John LaCroix and is copyrighted data he and others collected. From John LaCroix's chart on page 58:
For 1914 (7.65mm) "Types"

1934......6216..................500329

The latest M1934 I have is sn 619487 which has the Army E/655 acceptance stamp on it. I didn't know any M1934 pistols were manufactured after 1941 but apparently some were.
