This is an excellent example of a large ring variant Model 1896 Broomhandle Mauser pistol with the very desirable Von-Lengerke Import frame markings, that is complete with the original matching combination wooden shoulder stock/holster. 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. The chamber are of the barrel is marked in three lines "WAFFENFABRIK/MAUSER/OBERNDORF/ A/N", with the left side marked with the "Crown/U" commercial proof with the right side marked with the 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 matching attaching iron and leather shoulder strap.

Very fine with 95% of the original blue finish overall with minor edge and high spot wear with some minor nicks and spots on the outside of the barrel. The front sight has been non-factory modified to accept a pinned removable front blade with bead. The grips are in very fine condition with minor handling marks. The shoulder stock, is very good overall with 30% of the original blue finish on the attaching iron and 40% of the blue on the hinge. The wooden stock shows some handling marks, scratches and light pressure dents on both sides with the initials "E.H.S." carved on the left side, in front of the hinge area. As noted this example has all matching numbers to include the stock attaching iron.
