EXTREMELY RARE MAUSER CONEHAMMER 6-SHOT BROOMHANDLE SEMI-AUTO PISTOL. SN 14273. Cal. 30 Mauser. Beautiful & rare Broomhandle – one of 4 known!! 6″ bbl with 50-1,000 meter adjustable rear sight & barleycorn front sight. It has usual chamber markings with crown “U” proofs on left side of receiver & bottom of bolt. Bottom of bbl has three small proofs with tiny “M” proofs on various internal parts. Hammer is early style with stepped concentric rings and it has the scalloped magazine base with protruding release button. Fitted with 23-line walnut grips & has a lanyard stud & ring in butt. Accompanied by a matching numbered orig walnut holster/stock. Few of these rare pistols survive today & of those survivors very rarely is one ever encountered that is all matching especially the holster/stock. PROVENANCE: Doug Smith Collection. CONDITION: Very fine, all matching including holster/stock. Overall retains about 95% strong orig factory blue with only losses from holster wear around bottom of bbl. Small parts retain most of their orig fire blue, slightly thinned on sight slide & firing pin retainer. Trigger retains thin orig straw colors. Mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore, may have been fired but if so very little. Holster/stock is completely sound with light nicks, scratches & dings and retains most of its period oil finish. Attaching iron & hinge are a gray metal patina. 4-36181 JR224 (12,500-17,500)
