Description:
CHINESE Manufactured MAUSER C96 Broomhandle Pistol COPY 7.63x25mm C&R
With MAUSER c1930 Commercial Markings
Here we present a C&R Chinese Manufactured Mauser C-96 Style Broomhandle Pistol, made circa 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”.
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 (optional), 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 overall condition is fair. Original patina. The action (hammer/trigger) is strong, though the firing pin is not secure inside the bolt. The bore is patinated and has strong rifling. The grips are solid. Import marked. It is interesting to note how all the various markings were copied directly from an original Mauser. We do not recommend this piece for firing but it is a good example of a Chinese made copy of a firearm that was very popular in that country in the early-20th Century.
