EXCELLENT MAUSER C96 CONEHAMMER. SN 6385. Cal. 7.63mm. Standard 10-shot, 5.5” bbl and pinned 50-500 rear sight. This mid-range Conehammer is in exemplary condition. Detailed disassembly shows all matching parts. PROVENANCE: Ralph Merrill Collection CONDITION: The pistol has 95-97% orig finish with minor freckling and sharp edge wear on the front of the magazine housing and brown toning on the front and backstrap. No discernible wear under bbl. Orig fire blued parts are untouched. There is at least 95% of the orig fire blue on the extractor and 90% fire blue on the bolt stop and 70% fire blue on the sight cursor. Still with old grease in hard to reach recesses. A small chip is missing from the lower left corner of the rear of the bolt. Unlike most pistols of this era, this C96 has a nearly perfect, mirror bore. Excellent example of a mid-production Conehammer whose only defect relates to the small chip from the left lower rear of the bolt. (Antique). 4-47203 LMA16 (3,500-6,000)
