You are considering a vintage Matching Commercial Mauser C-96 Broomhandle 7.63x25mm Semi-Automatic Handgun. It’s in okay condition for its age. The metalworks finish is holding up nicely and has turned into a brown rust patina throughout; however, there are some large patches of arrested rust pitting along the backstrap and above the grips. The grooved wood grips are excellent with no damage concerns – they may not be original to the gun, considering their condition. The barrel measures 5.2-inches in length and includes its front blade sight and rear adjustable tangent sight — the bore is slightly dark with minor pitting throughout and weak rifling; however, it’d most likely twist lead just fine. The action is sound, and everything locks up as it should.
