2/25/20 - This is just an outstanding mint example of a Mauser “Broomhandle” pistol, made in the mid-twenties, after WWI, most likely for commercial market. This a less frequently seen “Bolo” model, with a shorter grip and barrel. Chambered in powerful .30 Mauser bottleneck cartridge caliber, “Bolo” Mausers were favorite of the Russian Bolshevics during and after the revolution , thus earning a “Bolo” nickname. This particular gun looks nearly new, with over 99% of its original blue present, with just a hint of wear on the tips of the frame rails and on the rear strap. The fire blue on small parts is nearly all there and is vivid and bright. The gun is all matching, including the mint grips and internals. Mint bore. The original shoulder stock is in fantastic shape with a Mauser banner on one side and the gun’s serial last 3 digits on the iron. Impossible to upgrade set.
