A) Chinese Copy of a Mauser/Mannlicher Type Semi-Automatic Pistol with Holster

Model: Semi-Automatic
Type: Pistol
Gauge: 7.65 mm
Barrel: 7 1/4 inch round
Finish: gray/brown patina

Stock:
Item Views: 3655
Serial Number:
Catalog Page: 229
Class: Curio & Relic Handgun
Description:

A Chinese copy of a European semi-automatic pistol, with features similar to those found on a Mauser or Mannlicher pistol. The frame and slide are marked with various Belgian style proof marks and the word "NATIONALE" as well as other false European style stampings. This is common on Chinese copies of European pistols of the early 20th century; it was thought that more discerning Chinese buyers would prefer a Belgian or German pistol, and these were meant to simulate the correct markings. With a fixed pinched blade front and a false tangent rear sight. Grips are a clear acrylic, and the rear grips trap is slotted for a stock. Includes a leather holster.

Rating Definition:

Good with a primarily mottled gray/brown patina displaying areas of edge wear, moderate spotting and light pitting. Grips are good. Mechanically Good.

Gauge: 7.63 mm Mauser auto

Item Views: 3655
Serial Number:
Catalog Page: 229
Class: Curio & Relic Handgun
Description:

Fixed sights; rear sight is of the false tangent type with marked numbers but nonfunctional slider. With a serrated ring hammer and checkered hardwood grip panels. The gun is numbered "3027" on the frame and barrel. Manufactured by an unknown smith and inspired heavily by the Mauser type semi-automatic pistols popular during the early parts of the 20th century.

Rating Definition:

Fine with 60% original blue finish, some edge wear, scattered mild handling marks, and light surface scratches. Grips are very good with well defined checkering and only minor indentations. Mechanically very good.
