MAUSER BROOMHANDLE FLAT SIDE SEMI AUTO PISTOL. SN 403. Cal. 30 Mauser. Italian Army contract. This is a rare, numbers matching, large ring flat side Mauser semi-automatic pistol with 23 groove grips. Pistol is in excellent overall condition with a 50-500 meter sight. It is a rare version of even the flat side Mauser, having the large ring hammer. PROVENANCE: Stern Collection. CONDITION: Pistol shows better than 90% of orig finish. Upper receiver and bbl assembly show 90-95% finish with some wear showing through on the bottom of the bbl. Bolt is bright with a fire blue extractor and sight elevator and just a little spotting on the top of the cocking handle. Lower receiver shows approximately 95% blue on the right hand side with just some minor scratches and approximately 80% on the left hand side with less but more significant marks. Rear strap has some blue wear, as it appears it had a shoulder stock attached to it on occasion. Front strap retains most of its finish but turning plum. Bore shows shiny with just a little erosion beginning. A fine example of a rare broomhandle. 4-34128 BK108 (3,000-4,500)
