1/9/19 - This is a very nice example of an original commercial Mauser M1930. This variant appeared in 1930, and was the first C-96 to have a real model designation. Mauser called it the Modell 1930, but the common modern name is the M-30. With the M-30, Mauser dropped the Bolo-sized C-96 for good, and reverted to the standard formula which had dominated throughout the prewar and wartime eras - 10 shot magazine, large grip, long barrel, 1000 meter tangent sight, and grooved walnut grip panels. This gun retains 92-94% high polish blue with most finish loss on the barrel and high edges. Fantastic bore and grips. All proper functionality. There are a few scratches where someone inexpertly attempted to remove the mag floor plate.
