Manufactured about 1897. Blade front and tangent rear sights, the latter graduated "1" to "10", with the top of the chamber marked "WAFFENFABRIK/MAUSER/OBERNDORF A/N", the left side is marked with a "crown/crown/U" German test proof, and an Oberndorf antler proof on the right flat. Matching numbers are present on the frame, hammer, bolt catch, follower, floorplate, hammer group, trigger housing, and the ribbed grip panels. Included with the lot is a hardwood shoulder stock, numbered to match the pistol on the blued mounting iron, a rare original "putzstock" cleaning rod tool with flip-out hook, two clips, and a modern custom hardwood case with CMR maker's lid label.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, with 90% of the original blue finish, showing scattered minor handling marks, wear on the backstrap from the stock, repetitive scratch marks visible below the hammer group catch, and bright edge wear. 60% original niter blue remains on the small parts. Grips are very fine, with a few dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent. The fine stock shows a brown patina on the original matching number mounting iron, and some dents and thinning varnish on the wood, and the case is excellent with minor wear.
