Manufactured reportedly for a special French contract, this Mauser Model 1896 pistol is in the unique combination "Bolo" configuration, 4 inch barrel and large grip frame (refer to p. 132 of "System Mauser" by Breathed and Schroeder). It is fitted with blade front and tangent rear sights, graduated from 50-500. The three-line Mauser marking is on the top of the chamber with "crown/crown/U" proof on the left and right side of the frame marked "WAFFENFABRIK MAUSER/OBERNDORF A. NECKAR". Visible numbers are matching with the last digit of the chamber serial number having been stamped over a "4" (likely a factory error), small ring hammer with the rear of hammer marked "NS" for new safety, and short extractor. The grips are checkered hard rubber with Mauser monograms. Includes a correct pattern shoulder stock/holster with matching attaching iron numbered "135".
