Manufactured c.1915-1921, the 7.63mm 1896 Broomhandle served alongside the 9mm "Red Nine", overall very close in configuration to the commercial standard. Blade front and 1000-meter graduated tangent rear sights, with the three-line Oberndorf address on top of the chamber, "crown/crown/U" on the left and a "crown/gothic letter" military proof on the right, two-line address on the right side of the frame, "Imperial eagle" on the underside of the triggerguard, and matching numbers on multiple parts, including the floorplate and grips. Fitted with niter blue small parts, and 34-groove grips. Included with the lot is a hardwood shoulder stock numbered "444" on the blued iron and hand-scribed "BADLEY" on the left side, a "1916" dated military pattern brown leather harness with multiple struck-out unit markings, cleaning rod and an extra magazine spring.

Very good, with 75% of the arsenal refurbished blue finish, showing areas of brown patina, a number of light scuffs and dings, and mild spotting and handling marks overall. The refinished grips are very good, with some dents and scratches. Mechanically excellent. The harness shows mild cracks and scuffs, with some dings and dents on the stock.
