Looking for information on first production, low grip screw variety Mauser HSc pistols from serial number 700001 through 701347.
This first HSc production at Mauser Werke consisted of high-quality, commercial pistols from which the Kriegsmarine (Navy) procured approximately 500. These bear a pantographed Eagle over M on the front grip strap between the trigger guard and the serial number. The remaining pistols, without the KM marking, were available to the commercial market.
1) Can anyone verify that any of the following six reported HSc pistols somewhere out there bear the above described Kriegsmarine (Navy) proof: 700067, 700129, 700220, 700223, 700322 and 700395?
2) Does anyone have, or know of, additional surviving low grip screw HSc serial numbers in this serial range of 700001 to 701347, Navy or Commercial? (Other than those listed in Jan Still’s Axis Pistols)
Interested only in serial number data, not who, what or where. Photos would be super!
Thanks in advance!
