serial #313302, 30 Mauser, 5 1/2" barrel with a good bore that has mild freckling along its length. This "GERMANY" marked pistol has matching numbers on the frame, receiver, lock, bolt, and hammer with the metal having an overall smooth plum-brown patina with mild brown freckling throughout and silvering along the barrel at the muzzle and where it meets the receiver. The extractor, rear sight elevator, and safety have some of the original bright fire blue remaining with mottled gray on the balance and the hammer and lock have thin freckling throughout. The grooved wooden grips are in very good shape with some small surface chips, mostly on the right side panel, and scattered minor handling marks throughout. This is a great looking example of a Wartime Commercial Broomhandle and is in very good condition overall. (74418-2) {C&R} (700/900) SOLD FOR $862.50
