SOLD - Excellent, Cased Mauser Model 1930 Broomhandle - W/ Extras

Description

2/5/26 - This is an excellent 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 is matching and comes with some extras: a custom leather carrying case (initials "D.B.M." on the lid), one box of ammo, a leather ammo pouch, a glass oiler bottle, two leather straps for the case, cleaning rod, and a black leather holster (Nazi ink stamp on the inside). The floor plate of the gun has an interesting round extension on the bottom with concentric circles. We weren't able to find any information on it, so we assume it was a special order. The back strap also has no provision for a stock. This exact gun is featured on Pg. 131 of "The Mauser Self-Loading Pistol" book by Dunlap and Belford. The gun's original bluing rates about 97% with just hints of high edge wear, a few tiny dots of wear, and some very light pin-pricking here and there. Fitted with excellent un-numbered wood grips. Mint bore.
