The #1 pistol in China during its day, the Broomhandle was in such demand that a variety of local smiths stepped up to meet the demand of those who couldn't find or afford an authentic Mauser or Astra as well as take advantage of those who didn't know a Mauser from a "WAUSER", such as this example. Patterned directly off the Mauser Bolo, but the markings are one step above gibberish (Wauser, Obncefreskenfkr, etc.). Fitted with a pair of ribbed grips.

Manufactured from 1921 to 1930. Groove sights, with the Oberndorf address and "W.T.P. - 6,35 - D.R.P.u.A.P." on the left side of the slide and a checkered wraparound Mauser banner grip.
