This is a fine example of an early Mauser Model 1914 pistol with the early raised humpback on the top of the slide. This example is fitted with the short barrel and short extractor. The early humpback designed slides were eventually eliminated in the standard Model 1914 pistols. The pistol has the three line Mauser address/patent markings on the left side of the slide with the Mauser Banner below that on the side plate. The rear of the frame, left of the slide, and the side of the barrel lug are all numbered "786." The top of the slide has a "crown/ U" proof marked behind the rear sight. The right rear side of the frame and slide are stamped with the "crown/V" firing proof, and the chamber areas is stamped British "NP" nitro proofmark. The right side of the frame above the trigger is very lightly stamped "Not English Made." It is fitted with a set of one-piece, wraparound checkered walnut grips and an unmarked Mauser magazine.
