MAUSER C96 CONEHAMMER, SIX SHOT, ADJUSTABLE SIGHT. SN 7877. Cal. 7.63 mm. 5.5” bbl and 50-500 graduated rear sight. Most 6-shot Conehammers in this range had a fixed sight.

This pistol has been restored and refinished with many of the small parts renumbered including the trigger, hammer, floor plate, firing pin retainer and frame. Configurationally correct replacement grips are properly numbered to match the gun. Accompanied by a modern leather covered hard case made by Nizzoli, lined with purple fabric, and compartmentalized for accessories that include an oil flask, modern cleaning rod, a walnut bullet block, and a locking key. PROVENANCE: Ralph Merrill Collection CONDITION: Beautifully restored with at least 98% blue and virtually perfect grips. Bright bore with strong rifling. (Antique). 4-47210 LMA3 (3,500-7,000)
