Mauser C96, Waffen Fabric, Oberndorf, 7.63x25mm Semi-Automatic Pistol
Description: Mauser C96, Waffen Fabric, Oberndorf, 7.63x25mm semi-automatic pistol with five stripper clips and an after-market black plastic box. There are no other box, papers, or accessories with the gun. Year of manufacture: The gun is a wartime commercial pistol. There were around 144,000 manufactured between 1912 and 1918. A firearms and militaria headquarters narrows this serial number to 1915 and 1918. The gun is marked as follows: - On the flat face above the chamber is stamped “WAFFENFABRIK” (first line), “MAUSER” (second line), “OBERNDORA/N” (third line). The "A" is a superscript. - On the flat of the left side of the chamber is stamped two crowns (one above the other), and both above a “U”. This stamp is rotated ninety degrees counterclockwise. - Further back on the same flat is stamped “1920” - the date the gun supposedly complied with certain post-war legal requirements. The certification may or may not have been true, as apparently, the dates were often not legitimate. - On the flat of the right side of the chamber is stamped a crown above a marking that I cannot identify (see photos). If you know what it is, please tell me. - On the rear of the frame on the right side of the gun is stamped “WAFFENFABRIK” (first line), “OBERNDORF A. NECKAR (second line). The “A.” is a superscript. - On the flat face beneath the chamber is stamped several independent marks. I believe they are “6”, “C”, “2”, and a mark that I cannot make out. If you know what it is, please tell me. See photos. - On the bottom of the barrel, just forward of the flat beneath the chamber is stamped “M” and a six-pointed star above. - On the left top of the bolt/cocking handle is stamped two crowns above a “U” just like on the flat of the left side of the chamber. - On the right top of the bolt/cocking handle is stamped the last three numbers of the gun’s serial number. - On the back of the hammer is stamped a monogram - a small “N” superimposed over a much larger “S”. - Below that monogram is stamped the last three numbers of the gun’s serial number. - On the back of the lock mechanism, just below the hammer, the full serial number is stamped. - At the top of the backstrap, just below the lock mechanism is full serial number is stamped again. - On the front strap is stamped “27.R.S.B.3.1.K.24.” From what I have read, this indicates a German military unit. Thus, though the gun was a commercial product, it was purchased and issue to the military. If you know otherwise, please correct me, and I will update this description. The overall length of the pistol is about 11 3/8 inches. The overall height is 5 3/4 inches. Its weight, with an unloaded magazine, is 40.2 ounces (2 pounds, 2.8 ounces). The overall condition of this gun is 90+ percent. All serial numbers match, and all parts match down to the grips. The bluing shows a little wear and a little discoloration. The broom-handle grip panels are in excellent condition, with a very small chips on left panel, just forward of the panel screw and at the back of the right panel where the panel meets the frame. The bottom of each panel shows a dent where lanyard ring bumped the panels. The photos are high resolution, so zoom to see details. Contact me for additional photos of any area you would like to see or see better. The buyer pays $25 for USPS Priority mail and $33.50 for USPS insurance, actual cost. The fastest way to get this gun is to pay with USPS (U.S. Postal Service) money orders, as they are like cash, and I don’t have to wait for them to clear. However, I will accept a personal check or another type money order, but I will hold the gun until it clears my bank; this includes bank checks and cashier’s checks. Check or money orders must be made out to Jerry Pownall. If you need to contact me, I am available any time, except Friday evenings and Saturdays. I will return calls and emails on Saturday evenings.
