Mauser Model 1930 Broomhandle

Description

6/4/25 - This is 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 has retained roughly 75-80% of its original finish. There is general high edge wear and spotty, somewhat scratchy wear throughout. Areas of heavy pitting on the grip straps and on the left side of the frame above the grip. Fitted with un-numbered wood grips - noticeable bruising on both sides. Very nice bore with great rifling.
