FANTASTIC MAUSER C96, 20-SHOT CONEHAMMER, MILLED PANEL, WITH CORRECT STOCK.

SN 9686. Cal. 7.63mm. Late 20-shot Conehammer with 5-1/2″ bbl having a fixed front sight and pinned 1-10 rear sight. Long extractor and independently secured firing pin. Usual Mauser chamber address with Crown/Crown U on left chamber flat. Antler proof on right chamber flat. Unmarked frame except for SN on backstrap. Extensive disassembly shows all matching SNs including firing pin and replacement grips. Major components rust blued. Extractor, sight cursor, bolt stop, firing pin retainer, safety and replacement grip screw are fire blued. Trigger is in the white. Serrated wood grips. No lanyard ring. Correct and all orig 20-shot stock with lug numbered “8451” having the broadly serrated plunger as more frequently seen with the 20-shot Flatside pistols. PROVENANCE: Dineley Collection; Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. CONDITION: Approx 95% orig rust blue with light wear in expected areas, mainly on left side of the bbl and fading around extended magazine. The fire blue has essentially faded from the extractor; 80% remains on the cursor with 90-95% remaining on other parts. Replacement grips fit extremely well, are color appropriate, and show no wear. Bright bore with minimal oxidation. Perfect manual mechanics. Stock retains much of its orig varnish with a 2″ vertical crack near latching assembly & a second 3″ crack along lower spine. A portion of the body & lid have been routed out to facilitate insertion of the pistol. As a result of thinning, two small sections are missing from the lid on each side of the lanyard ring recess. Hinge with uniform greyish-brown patina. Less extensive oxidation involves the otherwise untouched lug. Fit to pistol is tight & free of discernible wobble. Arguably the most charismatic of all the Mauser C96s, particularly when fitted to its correct shoulder stock, sure to enhance any collection. 4-52080 (35,000-55,000) – Lot 2203
