Rare and Desirable "Armes and Cycles St. Etienne" Retailer Marked Mauser Model 1896 Broomhandle Semi-Automatic Pistol

This is an excellent example of an early small ring, commercial Model 1896 Broomhandle that has a scarce French retailer marking. The top of the barrel is marked with "Manufacture Francaise d' Armes & Cycles de Saint-Etienne". Standard "crown/crown/U" proof on the barrel extension and top of the rear section of the bolt and the chamber marked "WAFFENFABRIK/MAUSER/OBERNDORF A/N". The right side of the frame is marked: "WAFFENFABRIK MAUSER/OBERNDORF A. NECKAR". It has the standard tangent rear sight graduated from 50-1,000 meters, fixed blade front sight, and short extractor. It is fitted with a set of standard walnut grips with a lanyard loop ring on the butt. The grips are grooved on each side and are both numbered "62300" on the back. "6576" is stamped on the butt of the left grip panel. Number "69" is stamped on top of barrel extension under rear tangent sight.

ConditionExceptionally fine, retains 95% period retailer blue finish, 90% plus nitre blue, and 95% plus straw colors on the trigger with the balance a smooth grey patina, primarily on the grip straps and some light wear at the muzzle. The grips are also excellent with a few minor dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
