LATE MAUSER C96 CONEHAMMER PISTOL, REWORK.

SN 7331. Cal. 7.63mm. Scarce Conehammer rework with a Bolo bbl extension having a 4″ bbl with a fixed front sight and a slip-in rear sight graded from 50-1000. Long extractor and independently secured firing pin. The sight lug is grooved as is the sight cursor. Usual Mauser address on top of the chamber. Full SN is on the left chamber flat and the Crown/Crown/U proofing on left side of the bbl extension. The only other markings on the exterior are the scriptic “M” inspections on the hammer and top of the backstrap and the full SN that is repeated on the bolt, firing pin retainer, hammer and backstrap. The sight bar is numbered “230”, though the cursor matches with “31”. Detailed disassembly shows internally matching numbers including the firing pin and a repaired follower spring. Though grips appear orig, frozen grip screw did not allow removal. PROVENANCE: Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. CONDITION: Generally brown gun with traces of blue in protected areas. Heavier wear on front and grip strap with minor pitting. Dark bore without discernible rifling. Perfect manual mechanics. A scarce Conehammer whose condition suggests use in China. 4-53003 (1,750-2,500) – Lot 2212
