This is the first model to use the new safety, covered the serial range 290090 through 433900, can be seen on page 124 in the book System Mauser. Standard features include blued finish, small hammer, all matching numbers, Nitre blue small parts and fine line grooved walnut grips with lanyard ring. Pistol remains in excellent, all original condition with approximately 85% of the original matte blue finish. Most of the wear is from the wooden shoulder stock/holster and retains nearly all of the Nitre blue on small parts. Fine bore and action. Comes with the original mail receipt to Wilmer Hirschbock listing this gun by serial number on a War Department form. Also included is an original shoulder stock holster with matching number on tang. Any Broomhandle Mauser with matching stock is a great find. Grips have a little wear and a couple of chips. Excellent example.
