Description:
Waffenfabrik Mauser C96 “Broomhandle” pistol chambered in 7.63x25, featuring the iconic long-profile design and integral high-capacity internal magazine that helped define early semi-automatic handgun history.
Introduced in 1896, the C96 quickly gained international attention and was purchased both commercially and by military officers across Europe. British officers were known to privately acquire these pistols through distributors such as Westley Richards, and the platform went on to see service across multiple global conflicts throughout the early 20th century — cementing its reputation as one of the most recognizable military sidearms ever produced.
This example retains the traditional broomhandle grip profile along with clear Waffenfabrik Mauser Oberndorf A. Neckar markings and classic tangent rear sight system. The overall presentation remains strong and authentic to the era, making it an appealing addition for collectors of early German semi-automatic pistols.
