5" barrel in 9mm caliber. This is an early Chinese version of the Mauser Broomhandle Model C-96. Resembles any standard C-96 Model. Features the blued finish with the long range rear tangent sight with grooved walnut grips and lanyard ring. This pistol has matching serial number on slide and both magazines. These pistols have become highly desirable as is features the detachable magazine, which can be removed from gun, and can fire the readily available 9mm cartridge. Comes with the original short magazine which is flush at trigger guard, as well as the extended magazine which rests in the side pouch of the shoulder stock holster that is included. Has Chinese characters on left side of frame and logo on right side of frame. Inside grip strap is stamped "China". Pistol does not appear to have been fired since finished. Has a fire blue extractor and 98% of the dull matte military style blue. It appears to be of very good quality, although some of the polishing is not nearly as nice as those made in Germany, and you can see some machining marks and rough metal under finish. Bore and action are fine. Comes with a wooden shoulder stock holster, leather harness, and two magazines. These high quality Chinese Broomhandle Mausers are no longer being imported into the United States and have seen a drastic increase in value in the past year.
