Loading... Please wait...German made Mauser C96 with matching holster, repro case, two stripper clips and original tool. Very cool, in 9mm too. Note British proof marks. Post war surplus? Which War I or II ? See photos
And Star Wars fans if you think you saw this in the hands of Hans Solo, you were correct! This is the infamous blaster use throughout the series, they just put a big silver tip on it to make it look steam punk-ish and “modern”.
“The Mauser C96 (Construktion 96)[6] is a semi-automatic pistol that was originally produced by German arms manufacturer Mauser from 1896 to 1937.[7] Unlicensed copies of the gun were also manufactured in Spain and China in the first half of the 20th century.[7][8]
The distinctive characteristics of the C96 are the integral box magazine in front of the trigger, the long barrel, the wooden shoulder stock which gives it the stability of a short-barreled rifle and doubles as a holster or carrying case, and an iconic grip shaped like the handle of a broom. The grip earned the gun the nickname "broomhandle" in the English-speaking world, because of its round wooden handle, and in China the C96 was nicknamed the "box cannon" (Chinese: 盒子炮; pinyin: hézipào) because of its rectangular internal magazine and the fact that it could be holstered in its wooden box-like detachable stock.[9]” Per Wikipedia
