August Menz Menta 7.65mm Pistol

Description

1/27/25 - This is a great example of a August Menz Menta pistol in 7.65mm. These pistols were designed by August Menz and made by the Menz company right before and immediately after WW1. This particular pistol is a later model of the Menta 7.65mm, which is denoted by the large script on the left side of the frame. This pistol was most likely manufactured in the 1920's for the commercial market given the Crown N proof and lack of importation/exportation markings. The pistol itself is in great overall condition retaining around 85% of its original blued finish. The pistol is missing finish in the high points on the slide and frame, as well as around the muzzle. The bore on this pistol is in great condition for it's age rating a 8.5/10. The rifling is strong, but there is some light corrosion in the grooves of the rifling. This pistol comes with one magazine, the magazine is also in great condition with a strong functional spring.
