You don't have to be a gunsmith or military man to keep your firearm working you just need to have a little knowledge about the workings of a pistol. Grooves that cut into the cylinder work as both the cylinder lock and the actuating mechanism. Mauser's first attempt to improve upon a pistol was the creation of the C78 or "Zig Zag" revolver. In 1869, Wilhelm and Paul Mauser left working for the Royal Wurttemberg Rifle Factory to strike out on their own designing firearms. heck she used to own a gun and seen her pull a gun on a would be mugger once!Mauser is best known for its bolt-action rifle but it also makes top-of-the-line pistols too. she should know better though, she was raised in the same inner city "hood" that i was. My mom moved to Yellow Springs Ohio over 20 years ago (where gun came from), think they have rubbed off on her a bit 'cause she has similar views now lol. She is once again starting to "see the light" and wants me to acquire her a simple revolver! she couldnt operate it and asked me to show her but i told her it would be too hard for her. until now that area has always been peaceful and quiet.
The only reason i heard about this gun was due to my mom borrowing it to keep at their house (lives just outside of town) due to a lot of shady people creepin around their place and reports of recent break ins in the area. not sure if i will keep it yet but want to preserve it the best i can seeing how its almost 100 years old now! Next time i see them i am going to have them give me as much info as they can including their grandfathers name, branch of service he was in, what he told them about the gun/his war experience, etc, and keep that info with the gun in a case i will soon get for it. problem is they have lived in a bubble for so long where there is no crime or violence and havent experienced "the real world" long enough, or at all to show them the need for good people to have "weapons". Honestly the people that i got the gun from, as well as most of those anti-gunners i have met there are very nice people and would give you their shirts off their back if needed. heck she used to own a gun and seen her pull a gun on a would be mugger once! any help with properly identifying this gun would be appreciated!Ĭlick to expand.My mom moved to Yellow Springs Ohio over 20 years ago (where gun came from), think they have rubbed off on her a bit 'cause she has similar views now lol.
the mag is a bit tricky to get out and bet it would be a pain to deal with switching mags when under fire! gun came with its original holster, extra mag, and 50 rounds of. The gun slide locks in place when cycling and only way to get it to release is to remove the mag and re-insert it.
gun has NO rust but shows wear on the blueing in spots, and the riffling as well as inside the bore looks like its hardly been shot. there is a pin that can be removed to remove the barrel and under it there is a stamping of what looks to be a Crown. done a little bit of research online for the year of this gun and if it did actually come from WW1 but there are just too man variants of it for me to be sure. the family whom are fanatical "anti gun" were about to have this gun destroyed before i "intervened" and told them i would take it "off their hands" for them. this gun belonged ho his father who, from what i have been told, served in WW1 and is where they think he obtained this gun. Got this from a friend of my moms who's grandfather recently passed away.
