LARGE MAUSER ZIG-ZAG SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER.

SN 2623. Caliber 10.6mm. Late, standard production, Mauser Zig-Zag Revolver with blued finish and ribbed 5.5″ bbl having an integral front sight. Marked on the top rib “WAFFENFABRIK MAUSER OBENDORF A/NECKAR”. Top strap has an open slot. Cylinder has the unusual feature of the “Zig-Zag” pattern around the outside diameter that acts as a slot for the hand to rotate the cylinder for the next shot. Left front side of the frame has a thumb safety that locks the cylinder by means of notches in the protruding rim. In front of the bottom frame is a lever that attaches to the bbl lug, that, when opened, allows the bbl to tip up for reloading and confirms a matching cylinder. The frame is fitted with a special 2-pc, full checkered, sharply angled walnut grip whose butt is protected by a metal cap. Production numbers of the zig-zag revolver are unknown but believed to be extremely limited with few sold in the U.S. Although made in several calibers, (7, 9, 10.6mm) the big bore model is considered to be the most desirable. PROVENANCE: Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. CONDITION: Largely a blue-brown gun with considerable oxidative toning. Overall, less than 25% rust blue. The fire blued cylinder, cylinder stop, and safety lever have oxidized to a uniform brown. Very little of the original case-hardening remains on the take down lever and the only discernible case colors of the hammer remain in protected areas. Moderately bright bore with sharp rifling and mild oxidation. Grips are period special replacements with very fine checkering. Scattered superficial dents, particularly on the left side. Mechanically perfect with secure locking of each cylinder. 4-52567 LMA22 (4,000-6,000) – Lot 3008
