5/11/17 - This is an original WW1 era production Mauser C96 Broomhandle stock. This wooden stock can act as both a holster for the Broomhandle, or a shoulder stock attachment. The metal attachment piece is serial numbered "200". The metal has no rust or pitting, but there is some minor patina and bluing discoloration, which is normal. The metal hinge has more bluing loss and some browning/beginning signs of rust forming. Overall the hinge and metal backing is in good condition though with no issues opening and shutting this case. The wood has a small imperial proof stamp. The wood has no major dents or cracks. Guaranteed original and authentic!!
