Description:
HAMBURG POLICE Marked GERMAN Mauser M1914 7.65mm Semi-Automatic C&R Pistol

German Police Side Arm in .32 ACP Caliber

Here we present a C&R German Mauser Model 1914 Pistol, made circa the 1920s in Oberndorf, Germany with a production run between 1914 and 1934. The Model 1914 was an early semi-automatic pistol for Mauser and one that was quite successful. They were made throughout the Great War and continued to be produced during the Weimar period. The development of Paul Mauser’s small pistols was well underway by around 1908, around this time he told the Deutsche Versuchs-Anstalt für Handfeuerwaffen (the German Experimental Laboratory for Handguns) that his company would be producing a small 7.65mm pistol “That would not be larger in weight and size than the well-known Browning 7.65 pistol”. The pistol we now refer to as the Mauser “Model 1914” was the 7.65mm (.32ACP) version and development work on it began after the “Model 1910” was in production. The design of the pistol was almost identical to that of the 6.35mm “Model 1910” but scaled for the larger and more powerful .32ACP cartridge.

This example is Hamburg Police mark “P.B. Hbg. 2561” in the milled panel on the right side of the frame. The first block of serial numbers for Hamburg Police usage range from 66498-67492, with the second block range from 206892-212391. The Model 1914 Mauser pistol was aimed at the police market, and the 7.65mm cartridge had already become the caliber of choice for many police departments in Europe. Changes were eventually made in this model that would become the Model 1934.

The overall condition is nearing fine. Original finish has been preserved. Strong action. Bright, rifled bore. Sharp markings. The grip is well-handled as the checkering has smoothed but remains in good shape overall. Numbers match.
