Description

10/2/25 - This is a fair example of a commercial Mauser Model 1930 Broomhandle from the 1932-34. 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 was part of the Chinese contract, as evidenced by the Chinese characters on the right side of the slide. There is obvious finish loss and brown patina throughout. Fitted with fairly worn wood grips. The rifling in the bore is a bit worn with pin-pricking throughout.
