Mauser M1930 Broomhandle Rig

Description

8/18/25 - 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 comes as a rig with a period-correct wood stock that is numbered but not matching to the gun. The gun itself has retained about 90% of its original high polish bluing. There is general high edge wear, muzzle wear, an area of very light spotty discoloration on the right side of the frame, and some spotty wear on the front edge of the frame. Fitted with minty un-numbered wood grips. Excellent bore with strong rifling.
