Pre-World War II MAUSER Model 1896 “BOLO” 7.63x25mm Broomhandle Pistol C&R
Made Famous by the Bolsheviks w/LEATHER HOLSTER
Here we present a C&R Mauser Model 1896 “Bolo” Broomhandle Pistol, made circa 1923-1930. 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”.
This variant has a shorter barrel and is also known as the M1921 or the “Bolo”, the latter due to its association with the Bolsheviks and the Red Army after the Bolshevik Revolution. “Bolo” was a derogatory term for those who identified as Bolsheviks. The victorious communists purchased many of these pistols and likely scavenged them from their defeated enemies, the Whites, who also bought them in large quantities. These were certainly popular in other parts of the world as well and were heavily adopted by many in the post-WWI German Freikorps, who fought against communists in the Balkans.
This overall condition is fair to good. Original patina with some rust. The grip frame area has some heavy pitting. The action is excellent. The bore is in good shape, gray with nice rifling, no pitting. The grips are replacements and are in very good condition. The leather holster is likewise in very good condition.
This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
Barrel is 4 inches.
Caliber: 7.63x25 Mauser Auto
