SOLD - Very Rare, Cased, Beautiful Mauser M1914 Humpback

Description

2/5/26 - This is a stunning example of a rare, very early Mauser M1914 "Humpback" pistol. These "humpback" pistols were pilot models to test public acceptance of the new gun with the "humpback" style slide meant to differentiate this model from the Model 1910. Usually these pistols were fitted with a 3 1/2 inch barrel while this example has a slightly shorter 3 3/8 inch barrel that is correct and not altered as it still has the original early style milled front sight with no sight barrel band and a "V" notch rear sight. The "humpback" style slide was dropped sometime after reaching serial number 2,850, making it one of the rarest Mauser pocket pistol variations. This example is all matching and comes with a beautiful alligator leather presentation case and one magazine. The gun itself has retained nearly all of its bluing with just the slightest hints of high edge wear. Bright fire-bluing on the small parts. We believe the fire bluing on the extractor may have been re-applied or buffed, but we can't say for sure. Fitted with a mint one-piece wood grip. Mint bore.
