This is an excellent example of a very desirable large ring variant flatside Model 1896 Broomhandle Mauser pistol with the original matching combination wooden shoulder stock/holster and has the very desirable Von-Lengerke Import frame markings. These pistols were produced in the early 1900s and this specific model is found in the serial number range in which the Mauser factor was changing from the early Cone Hammer pistols to the next production model termed the "large ring-flatside" models. This pistol is even more desirable in that it was imported and marked by the very famous New York import house of Von Lengerke and Detmold. During this time these pistols were probably some of the best machined, hand polished and blued 1896 series pistol. The top of the barrel extension is marked with "WAFFENFABRIK/MAUSER/OBERNDORF/A/N" with the left side having the serial number (27202), with the Crown/U proof with the right side marked with the early Mauser "Antler" firing proof. The underside of the barrel has several small letter proofs and the left side milled panel is marked "VON LENGERKE/& DETMOLD/NEW-YORK". This model has the correct large ring hammer, non-reinforced barrel/chamber area, long extractor, late style one-lug firing pin, and the flat non-milled fame panels. It is fitted with a set of walnut grips with 22 grooves on each side. It has the late style tangent rear sight graduated from 50-1,000 correctly numbered to the pistol and a fixed front sight. It is complete with the original lanyard ring on the bottom of the grip frame. This pistol is accompanied by the original walnut wooden shoulder stock/holster with the original matching attaching iron.
