Mauser M1930 (C96) Broomhandle

Description

10/15/25 - This is a commercial Mauser Model 1930 Broomhandle from 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 is matching and in fair condition overall. While there isn't a ton of actual finish loss, there is noticeable brown patina and spotty oxidation covering the gun. There are areas of noticeable pitting, mostly on the right side of the gun. Fitted with un-numbered wood grips - bruising on both sides. The condition of the bore is poor - the rifling is virtually entirely worn with pitting.
