SOLD - Mauser M1930 Broomhandle

Description

3/7/24 - This is a very nice example of a commercial Mauser Model 1930 Broomhandle from the 1930's. This variant appeared in 1930, and was the first C-96 to have a real model designation. Mauser called it the Modell 1930, but the common modern name is the M-30. With the M-30, Mauser dropped the Bolo-sized C-96 for good, and reverted to the standard formula which had dominated throughout the prewar and wartime eras - 10 shot magazine, large grip, long barrel, 1000 meter tangent sight, and grooved walnut grip panels. This particular example has retained about 90% of its original high polish finish. There is minor high edge and muzzle wear, but the majority of the wear is in a spot on the left side of the barrel - there are also a few pits. Fitted with excellent un-numbered wood grips. The bore has pretty good rifling, but there is minor pitting throughout.
