Mauser 1896 Flatside .30 Mauser caliber pistol. Mauser Flatside Pistol. Bore is excellent. Gun has approximately 93-95% blue. Grips are very good showing light handling wear. Action works perfectly. Pistol feeds, fires and ejects perfectly. We test fired it. Note: Early Mausers do not have a “step” in the barrel as this one does. They are made in one piece with the barrel and barrel extension as one. So, it is our opinion that the “step” at the breech end is an expert installation of what is a replaced barrel, a masterful job! Scarce Flatside Mauser at a reasonable price!
