Item Views: 2559
Serial Number:
Catalog Page: 238
Class: Curio & Relic Handgun
Description:

An interesting copy of a German Mauser type pistol, most closely resembling the model 1934. With a fixed front and slide notch rear sights. The right side of the slide is marked "ALMAN MAVSR", with the serial number "677676" just rear of the muzzle. Fitted with hand carved horn grips. Very similar to the hand made small arms produced in the Khyber Pass region between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Rating Definition:

Very good with small traces of original blue finish in protected areas. The balance is a mostly smooth mottled brown/gray patina with areas of light edge wear, scattered small scratches and mild spotting. The grips are good with well defined checkering and some edge chipping. Mechanically fair. Needs some adjustments as the firing pin will not release, or may be absent entirely.
