Payment Types Accepted: Description: Offered for sale is an extraordinary factory-engraved Mauser C96 “Bolo”, serial number 519621, preserved in true factory mint condition with its original carved ivory grips. This is a museum-grade presentation pistol, ordered through Mauser’s in-house Kunstgravur engraving atelier during the Weimar commercial period (circa 1921–1928). This pistol features full-coverage factory engraving, a flawless original high-polish blue finish, brilliant fire-blue small parts, and complete matching numbers on every component—internal and external—including the bolt, hammer, lock frame, and rear sight assembly. The grips are genuine factory-installed carved ivory, carved in oak-leaf pattern and perfectly fit to the frame. No cracks, no shrinkage, no repairs. The pistol shows zero firing or cycling wear. The rails are untouched. The bolt face is clean. The bore and chamber retain factory polish with no signs of use. Engraving remains sharp and fully intact, with no buffing or refinish. Factory-engraved and factory-ivory C96 pistols are exceedingly rare. Comparable examples—including the gold-inlaid, ivory-gripped C96 presented to Prince Eitel-Friedrich—have achieved $35,000–$50,000, with the known royal presentation example selling for $46,000 at James D. Julia/Morphy (2014). This pistol, though a Bolo variant rather than a royal presentation, matches that level of craftsmanship and preservation. This is an elite-level investment-grade firearm suitable for advanced collections.
