An attractive cutaway of a Chinese copy of a C96 pistol, marked on the left side with Chinese characters that appear to indicate manufacture in Huazhong. Cutaway clearly shows the mechanical intricacies of these pistols, which were remarkable in that they were almost completely hand fit. CONDITON: Very good. Some gaps in the metal visible in box magazine from being cut in half, but balance is polished to bright metal. More recent bluing on left side of gun and fire bluing to bolt stop and trigger. Mechanics have been frozen in place with what looks like epoxy, but is well done and displays well; even the ammo has been deactivated. Presents very well.
