BACKGROUND: In 1896 the Mauser firm, whose reputation was founded on their military rifles, introduced their military automatic pistol. Although rarely purchased in quantity by any army, it was often used as a preferred side arm by officers, and 150 000 of them were re-chambered for the 9mm Parabellum cartridge and adopted as "substitute standard" pistols by the German army and navy during the first world war. There was enough demand to keep it in production until 1937.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Very nicely done, older "cock & click" de-activation. 9mm type. "Waffenfabrik Mauser Oberndorf a/N." Complete with very nice original wooded shoulder stock/case. The wooden stock is also serial numbered to the pistol. Stock and pistol are a matched set….which is rare!

Please note, due to Postal Regulations. De-activated firearms and Inert Ordnance may not be shipped outside of Canada.
