Description:
The Mauser HSc is a 7.65mm Browning (.32 ACP) pistol introduced in Nazi Germany during World War II, and manufactured until 1977. The designation HSc stood for Hahn Selbstspanner ("self-cocking hammer") Pistole, third and final design "C". Production was continued in 1945–1946 during the French occupation and, from 1968 to 1977 by Mauser. It has a semi-exposed hammer, double-action trigger, single-column magazine, and a spring surrounding the barrel. The Mauser HSc was originally intended as a commercial pistol. It competed with the contemporary German Walther PPK and PP and Sauer 38H for police and military use. It was procured initially by the navy (Kriegsmarine) soon followed by the Army and police. HSc pistols used by the Luftwaffe or Waffen-SS were procured from Army and police stocks. The German Army began HSc procurement with an initial order for 3,000 pistols in early 1941, beginning with serial number 701,345, and, intermittently, ending about #712,000. These pistols are marked with an Eagle/655 inspection stamp on the left rear trigger guard web, a factory firing proof Eagle/N on the right rear trigger guardand at the front of the right slide. Also, a small Army Test Proof stamp was stamped on the left rear grip tang. Subsequent orders were placed by the Army throughout the war, with further pistols procured by the Police and Kriegsmarine, and almost 24% of the total production of 252,000 pistols going to the commercial market. A second Army variation of about 5,000 pistols consisted of pistols whose serial numbers ranged, intermittently, from about 712,000 to about 745,000. These have an Eagle/655 WaA (Army acceptance) on the left rear trigger guardand the Eagle/N firing proofs on the right rear trigger guardand on the front of right slide, but have no proof mark on the left rear grip tang. The finish on these pistols is also of the first quality. The third Army variation of some 4,000 pistols ranged in intermittent serial numbers from about 745,000 to about 790,000. These bear an acceptance mark of Eagle/135 on the left rear trigger guardand the two Eagle/N firing proofs on the right side. The high quality finish of the earlier pistols starts to decline in this production segment. The fourth variation consists of 31,000 intermittently numbered pistols from around #790,000 to #886,000. These pistols have an Eagle/135 acceptance and Eagle/N proofs as before. On pistols after #855,000 the left side of the slide now has a three-line device stamped along with the Banner. The polish of these pistols is rougher and the military "dusk blue" is now in evidence. The cross-hatched machining inside the top sight channel is no longer there. This pistol is the fourth variation. It has the Eagle/135 and the Eagle/N firing proofs. The holster has the Nazi Eagle stamped into it with "Otto Sindel Berlin 1942". 7.65MM (.32 ACP)
