Hello friends,

I need a good color photo (scan) of an Ottoman Turkish contract Mauser pistol, but have no luck finding one. Can someone please help?

Thank you kindly,
Jani

Jani, Suggest you check with the authors of both "System Mauser" and "The Broomhandle Pistol" to see if they took color fotos for their books. Color is more expensive to develop/reproduce/print which may explain why their books have pix in B&W.......Also, the Imperiel War Museum in London has a manequin on display, in full uniform, of a WW1 Turkish soldier holding his Turkish Cone C96....May be they've got a color foto......Good Luck, Rick

Also here: http://www.paul-mauser-archive.com/c96 gallery.htm

From the Paul Mauser privare archive we have original glass plates and historical documents available.

One Turkish is currently listed on gunbroker.com for sale:

How did this Turkish finally fall into hands of Chinese is hard to guess. It was well used there. Some parts were replaced, most likely, parts had been replaced by Turkish before it was resold to China.

The gunbroker Turkish was probably from Schroeder Estate. The appearance is very same as the one printed on collector's digest.
