Description:
Exceptional 1930 Mauser C96 “Broomhandle” Commercial (M30) Pistol
An iconic piece of early 20th-century firearms engineering, this 1930 Commercial Mauser C96—affectionately known by collectors and historians as the “Broomhandle”—is a must-have center-piece for any serious military or vintage firearms collection.
Famed for its unique aesthetic, integral box magazine in front of the trigger, and its distinctive wooden grip, the M30 represents the final major production evolution of the classic C96 design.

Condition Report
This specific M30 Mauser has been meticulously preserved and remains in outstanding collector condition.
- Finish: Retains much of its original factory rust blue finish. There is expected edge wear around the muzzle, high points of the rails, and the front of the magazine box from holster use. The extractor retains its heat-blued finish, and the hammer and lock frame components show original case-color hardening.
- Bore: Bright and shiny with strong, well-defined rifling. Excellent overall for a firearm of this vintage.
- Grips: The iconic walnut grips are solid with no cracks or major chips. The 12 grooves remain deep and sharp, showing only minor handling marks. Includes the original lanyard ring.
- Mechanics: The action is incredibly smooth and locks up tight. The universal safety functions flawlessly.
- Matching Numbers: All visible serial numbers match, including the frame, barrel extension, lock frame, and grip panels. The distinct Mauser banner logo is prominently and crisply stamped on the left side of the frame.
Included Accessories
- Original Wooden Stock/Holster: Comes with a period-correct, matching walnut combination shoulder stock/holster. The hinge and latch lock securely into the pistol’s grip frame. (Minor handling dings, no cracks).
