SCARCE MAUSER C96 CONEHAMMER, SIX SHOT, WITH ADJUSTABLE REAR SIGHT AND STOCK.

SCARCE MAUSER C96 CONEHAMMER, SIX SHOT, WITH ADJUSTABLE REAR SIGHT AND STOCK. SN 12134. Cal. 7.63mm. This scarce and rarely encounter C96 six shot has a 5.5″ barrel with a pinned 50-500 rear sight. Usual chamber address and Crown/Crown/U marking on the left chamber. Antler proof on the right. The full or matching serial number is externally visible on the bolt stop, firing pin retainer, under the floor plate and on the frame just below the locking lever. Disassembly shows all matching parts (including the firing pin) with repairs to the locking lug and sear. Original Conehammer grips. No lanyard ring. Correct Conehammer shoulder stock whose lid has a single notch for the safety and lug numbered 134. PROVENANCE: Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess Collection. CONDITION: 98% restored finish with panels on the left side of the gun noticeably deeper than the panels on the right side. The button on the sight cursor is stuck (probably needs oil) preventing cursor movement. Fire blue on the small parts has not been touched and is appropriate for a pistol with 70% original finish. Grips still have some of their original varnish, are sharply serrated and fully factory number to the pistol. The shoulder stock has been sanded and refinished. Two cracks in the body have been repaired. A crack that has split the lid in two has been repaired with a pair of transverse dowels whose ends appear as darker stains. The lid opposite the hammer has been fitted with a rectangle of replaced wood measuring 5/8″ x 1/2″. Though the lug has the same three last numbers of the pistol, it has been renumbered with the large font for much later production. Although restored and accompanied by heavily repaired stock, this is still a very unusual Conehammer. 4-53016 LMA84 (4,500-6,500)
