*◊ MAUSER C96, POST WAR MAUSER BANNER BOLO WITH MATCHING STOCK.

SN 684765. Cal. 7.63mm. Standard post war Mauser Banner Bolo with 4″ bbl, fixed front sight and slip-in 50-1000 rear sight. Usual Mauser address on chamber. Crown/N on left chamber flat; full SN on left side of bbl extension. Mauser address appears on the right side of the frame while the narrow Mauser banner is on the raised island, left rear frame. Small parts are fire blued. Serrated wood grips. Lanyard ring present. This is a matching pistol with the full SN or the last 3-4 digits repeated on the back of the NS-marked hammer, subframe, bolt, bolt stop, sight bar, locking block, frame, magazine floorplate, and each grip panel. The follower is accepted but unnumbered (as is correct). Accompanied by factory matching Mauser banner stock. PROVENANCE: Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess, Ex-Visser Collection. CONDITION: Stunning 99% strong orig blue with negligible high point glare, no thinning of the frontstrap and only minimal wear of the backstrap where in contact with the stock lug. Comparable condition fire blue on the small parts with the cursor and bolt stop having trace sharp edge wear and the front face of the trigger slightly faded; grips are crisp with most orig varnish only a few handling dings; right bore with strong rifling. Mild irregularity from corrosive ammunition. Perfect mechanics. Stock is nearly as nice as the pistol, retaining most of its orig varnish and having only a few light scattered scratches and dings. There are no cracks or chips. A small bruise is just forward of the Mauser banner logo, where pressed against a carrier stud. Hinge retains 30% of its orig fire blue, the balance having transitioned to a mellow patina. Comparable transitioning applies to the matching lug whose upper arm has largely faded to a pleasant grey. 4-52081 LMA100 (3,500-5,500) – Lot 3050
