*◊ FANTASTIC MAUSER C96 PRE-WAR COMMERCIAL WITH MATCHING STOCK.

SN 66693. Cal. 7.63mm. Early Pre-War Commerical with standard features that include a 5-1/2″ bbl, short extractor, 50-1000 rear sight and an unmarked two lug firing pin. Standard markings on chamber with full SN on left chamber flat. Crown “U” on the left side of bbl extension, no markings on right. Matching numbered bolt stop, sight, bolt, hammer, subframe and frame. Disassembly shows all internal components are matched with an unnumbered follower (correct for Pre-War Commercial). Wood grips were not removed as screw is frozen in place. Lanyard ring is present. Accompanied by an original shoulder stock that is correctly matched to the pistol. PROVENANCE: Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. CONDITION: Pistol has 99% bright orig rust blue, negligible sharp edge wear. The blue is every bit as good under the bbl and on the frontstrap. Minor loss on the backstrap where in contact with shoulder stock. Trigger has virtually all of its original straw. Wear to the fire blue parts is in keeping with the overall condition of the pistol. Grips with orig varnish, left panel having a small chip near the top. Bright bore with sharp rifling. Perfect manual mechanics. Orig shoulder stock with scattered surface dings but no splits or losses. Minor touch-up has been applied to hinge whose surface is slightly frosted. Orig matching lug beginning to tone. The only way to upgrade this rig would be to find a slightly better stock! 4-52136 LMA56 (4,000-5,500) – Lot 1276
