*◊ EXCEPTIONALLY RARE MAUSER M1906-08 SELF-LOADING PISTOL WITH 20 SHOT MAGAZINE.

SN 51. Cal. 9mm x 21 mm (DWM case 487B). Mauser made fewer than 100 M1906-1908 pistols, the highest recorded number known to this cataloger being 77. The first Mauser pistol to have a flap locked mechanism. This 2nd/standard variation has a 4″ bbl with a banded front sight and a half round-half octagonal bbl whose chamber is hand inscribed “WAFFENFABRIK / MAUSER OBERNDORF A.N.” Major components are rust blued. Bolt is strawed while the extractor, safety, safety release button, trigger, magazine retention spring and grip screw are fire-blued. Disassembly shows all matching numbers except for the magazine whose in-the-white body is numbered “37” and whose fire-blued base is numbered “80”. PROVENANCE: Ex-Visser collection. Illustrated TBLAP. Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. CONDITION: Superb professional restoration, with correct rust blue, leaving flat planes and sharp edges. Chamber markings are very deep. Correctly enhanced fire blued small parts. Orig grip retaining much of its orig varnish. Slight blunting of checkering. Toned magazine body with most fire blue having faded from the base. Bright bore with sharp rifling. Perfect manual mechanics. One of the most unusual and desirable pistols ever made by Mauser, particularly when fitted with the distinctive 20 shot magazine. 43475-791 LMA73 (25,000-35,000) – Lot 3631
