MAUSER C96 Broomhandle Pistol-Carbine 7.63x25mm BRIT PROOFED Holster-Stock
Versatile & Handy Pistol-Carbine Combination!
Here we present a Mauser C-96 Broomhandle Pistol, made circa 1930 with a production run between 1896 and 1937. The Mauser Construktion 96 was the Mauser Company’s most successful pistol and was even used by the likes of Winston Churchill during the Boer Wars. He is attributed as saying that it was “the best thing in the world”.
The distinctive characteristics of the C96 are the integral box magazine in front of the trigger, the long barrel, the wooden shoulder stock which gives it the stability of a short-barreled rifle and doubles as a holster or carrying case, and a grip shaped like the handle of a broom. The grip earned the gun the nickname “broomhandle” in the English-speaking world, because of its round wooden handle, and in China the C96 was nicknamed the “box cannon” because of its rectangular internal magazine and that it could be holstered in its wooden box-like detachable stock. With its long barrel and high-velocity cartridge, the Mauser C96 had superior range and better penetration than most other pistols of its era. The 7.63×25mm Mauser cartridge was the highest-velocity commercially manufactured pistol cartridge until the advent of the .357 Magnum cartridge in 1935.
This one features the original German proofs from manufacture as well as later British proofs on the right side of the barrel along with a small marking that states “NOT ENGLISH MAKE”.
This overall condition is fine. Original blue finish. The action is excellent. The bore is bright with nice rifling. Both grips are firm with minimal handling wear. Numbers match, including the stock. The stock and holster are in fantastic condition. This C96 rig has it all and would be difficult to improve upon!
