This is a very nice example of an early wartime commercial Model 1896 Broomhandle Mauser pistol that is complete with an original Mauser combination shoulder stock/holster. The pistol has the rust blued finish with the heat blued trigger, elevation slide and safety lever. It is fitted with a set of walnut grips with serrations on both sides. The top of the chamber is marked "WAFFENFABRIK / MAUSER/ OBERNDORF A/N" with a "crown/ U" proof is stamped on the left side of the barrel extension, the right side of the frame has the standard two line "WAFFENFABRIK MAUSER/OBERNDORF A. NECKAR" (very weak in center) marking with the left side of the frame unmarked. The front of the magazine well has been stamped with "4AR". It has the standard tangent rear sight graduated from 50-1000 meters with the fixed blade front sight, milled panel frame and lanyard loop ring on the butt. As noted it is complete with an original Mauser combination walnut shoulder stock/holster with an original attaching iron numbered "623" on top.
