6/5/19 - This is a fantastic and all original M1921 Mauser "Bolo", manufactured some time in the 1930s. The Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919, imposed restrictions on pistol barrel lengths and calibers on German arms manufacturers. Mauser began manufacturing a compliant version of the C96 for commercial sale with shorter, 3.9 inch barrel. Serial dates this pistol to 1923-30. The pistol is all matching, including the grips. The original blue rates at about 98% with only minor muzzle wear and an area of finish loss on the edge of the magazine well. There is also a small scratch on the back of the frame, below the serial number. Gorgeous fire blue is still present on small parts. Mint bore. The pistol comes in a custom, postwar case and includes an original cleaning rod and stripper clip.
