*MAUSER C96 PRE-WAR BOLO WITH “a” SUFFIX AND MATCHING STOCK. SN 89775. Caliber 7.63mm. Caliber 7.63mm. Mauser made very few Bolos in the serial range usually used for Pre-war Commercials. This example has a 4″ bbl and a slip-in 50-1000 rear sight. Standard chamber address and full serial number on the left chamber flat with an added “a” suffix that is repeated on the backstrap. Small Crown U marking on left side of bbl extension. Standard two line address on the right side of the frame. This gun has a short fire blued extractor along with a fire blued cursor, bolt stop, firing pin, safety, and grip screw. The trigger is strawed. Standard walnut grips with original varnish. Disassembly shows all matching numbers including the grips that have been stamped with the last three digits. Original lanyard ring. Accompanied by a correct full length shoulder stock that is factory matched to the pistol and has the correct looped hinge. PROVENANCE: Joseph J. Schroeder, Jr. Collection. CONDITION: At least 95% original bright blue with fading under the bbl, forward magazine well, and usual contact points where touching the stock. Slight fading of the front and backstrap from handling and stock attachment. Bright bore with strong rifling and light oxidation from corrosive ammunition. Original grips with handling marks consistent with the overall condition. Matching stock with original finish and a few handling dings and mars. There are two hairline cracks. One along the spine measures 4.25″. The other, on the right side, measures 2.25″ and extends from the top of the stock to the latch screw. The untouched lug has largely faded to gray. Oxidative change on the hinge is consistent with the overall condition of the stock. The lid is sound with no cracks though a small segment of the tensioning spring inside the lid is missing. All “a” suffix Bolos are scarce and finding one with a matching stock is a real bonus. 4-48575 LMA16 (3,500-5,000)
