HIGHLY CHARISMATIC MAUSER 20-SHOT CONEHAMMER WITH MATCHING STOCK.

SN 748. Caliber 7.63mm. One of just a handful of early 20-shot Conehammer pistols, with a non-reinforced barrel extension, in a very well established and narrow serial range clustered around 74X. This gun has a 5.5″ bbl and a pinned 1-10 rear sight. Usual Mauser address on the chamber. Crown U mark on the left side of the bbl extension and an antler proof on the right. The only marking on the frame is the serial number on the backstrap just below the locking lever. Standard Conehammer features include a bolt with a long extractor and an independently secured firing pin. Detailed disassembly shows all matching numbers (including the firing pin) and grips with peanut-recesses, each marked with the full serial number of the gun along with an “H” inspector marking. Broken lanyard ring. Accompanied by an original stock with a matching lug that has the original narrow plunger. PROVENANCE: Ex- Visser Collection, Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. CONDITION: Untouched Mauser 20-shot with approximately 95% original blue beginning to tone, particularly on the front and back strap. Comparable aging involves the fire-blued parts, the hammer, and trigger. Generally bright bore; strong rifling with mild oxidative loss. Original grips with well delineated serrations whose wear is commensurate with the balance of the gun. Original shoulder stock whose left side has been relieved to improve accessibility. Body has two hairline cracks along spine: one measures 5-1/2″, the other (repaired) measures 4″. Orig lug with appropriate toning is correctly numbered 748 on the front face. Comparable discoloration of lid hinge, no suggestion of any touchup or enhancement. An all-matching 20-shot rig, one of the earliest and most desirable ensembles assembled by Mauser. 4-52079 LMA137 (40,000-60,000) – Lot 3036
