Description:
9mm Export; 99% blue, 99% straw, very good bore, excellent grips, excellent stock, 4"'' barrel, Rare six shot, especially rare in 9mm Export. Nearly new condition. Fixed front sight and a grooved rear sight marked from 100-1000.Full serial number on the left chamber flat in gold. Crown/Crown/U proof on the left side of the bbl extension and an antler proof on the right side. The serial number dates the pistol to manufacture in 1903/4, but is very much lower than other 9 mm Export calibre C96 pistols, which commence in the 8x,xxx range (ca. 1907), probably a prototype of this calibre pistol. Bolt has a long extractor, the special 9 mm Export magazine follower with cutout scoop to aid feeding the last cartridge and a two lug firing pin. Lavishly engraved with an unusual “ears-of-wheat” motif, including the hammer. Under the trigger guard is the crowned Gryphon with sword & Shield coat of arms of Frederick, when heir to the Dutchy of Baden-Wurttemburg. Tasteful gold inlay highlights the barrel, extension and frame. The serial number on the left chamber flat and back of the frame is gold inlaid as is the Mauser address on the right side of the frame. Elaborate and often multiline gold inlaid highlighting borders most of the panels with Greek Key patterning around the muzzle. The faux-ivory grips are finely checkered in the same pattern used on special order pistols. The gun was originally complete with the original ivory grips, however because of the recent Executive Order and new law pertaining to ivory, the original grips were replaced with identical replicas. Accompanied by a lavishly carved Mauser factory carved Bolo length stock whose hinge and lug have been engraved in a complementary pattern and bordered with the same kind of gold highlighting. Believed to be presented to Frederick as Heir to Dutchy of Baden-Wurttemburg ca. 1903/4, when he was also General der Infanterie and à la suite (in the entourage of) the Royal Prussian Regiment Erstes Garde-Regiment zu Fuß, which was also the Regiment of Prince Eitel-Friedrich, Kaiser Wilhelm’s second son, to influence the then ongoing GPK pistol trials in favor of Mauser. Illustrated in the book, The Borchardt and Luger Automatic Pistols figure 2-18. At one time, the gun and stock were obviously dropped. The backstrap, the forward stock attachment, and butt of stock show superb old restoration. Safety toggle has replaced nitre blue. 99% of bright blue with negligible sharp edge wear. Comparable condition fire blue of small parts. Original deeply carved Bolo stock in a pattern similar to the factory stocks pictured in the book System Mauser. A beautiful gun that has been restored., s/n 438xx
