SCARCE MAUSER C96 CONEHAMMER, SIX-SHOT, WITH FIXED REAR SIGHT.

SCARCE MAUSER C96 CONEHAMMER, SIX-SHOT, WITH FIXED REAR SIGHT. SN 8086. Cal. 7.63mm. Mauser made relatively few 6-shot pistols, Conehammer variations being the earliest and most desirable. This gun has a 4.75″ bbl with a fixed front and rear sight. Usual chamber address with Crown/Crown/U marking on the left side of the barrel extension and no marking on the right side. Externally, the full serial number appears under the floorplate, on the bolt stop, on the firing pin retainer, the back of the hammer and the back of the frame just below the locking lever. Detailed disassembly shows all matching numbers (including the firing pin) and fully numbered grips. The rear part of the extractor, the tapered tip, has broken off. Orig grips and lanyard ring. PROVENANCE: Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess Collection. CONDITION: Approximately 90% of slightly faded restored blue. There is no fire blue on the extractor that now appears as bare metal. Bolt stop has 50% blue, mainly in protected areas, and the fire blue of the firing pin retainer has been restored to about 95%. Hammer is color case hardened and trigger is in the white. Grips appear pale as varnish was likely chemically stripped as part of the refurbishment. Bright bore with sharp rifling and only minimal oxidation. Perfect mechanics. 4-53011 LMA103 (3,500-5,500)
