This is a very fine example of a very desirable late production Mauser Model 1896 large ring, flat side broomhandle pistol that has the desirable Von Lengerke & Detmold Marked Frame panel. The Von Lengerke & Detmold company was one of the earliest importer and sporting goods stores in New York City that eventually became the one of the major importers of German Mauser and Luger pistols prior to WWI. It was established in 1882 and was eventually sold in 1928 to Abercrombie and Fitch company. The chamber area has the standard three-line Mauser factory markings with the left side stamped with the double crown/U mauser proof mark. The left side is prominently stamped: "VON LENGERKE/& DETMOLD/NEW-YORK". It has the early features such as the 1000-yard tangent rear sight with the bead front sight, the large ring hammer, flat side frame, long extractor with the new style breech block with the round fining pin without the dovetailed retainer block. The right side of the barrel extension has a small Mauser factory "antler" firing/acceptance proof. It is complete with its original matching walnut shoulder stock/holster. The stock has no visible proofs and the attaching iron is correctly numbered "27221" which matches the pistol. Matching numbers are present on the barrel, follower, bolt, large ring hammer, hammer housing and frame, with a short niter blue safety, lanyard ring, and 23-groove grips.
