Description:

Standard German military Mauser HSc semi-automatic pistol issued to the German Police chambered in 7.65mm (.32 ACP) with 3.4″ barrel and SA/DA mechanism. This wartime production example features the typical blued finish over noticeable factory machine marks. Smooth sighting channel on slide, and no lanyard recess on base of frame. Left side of slide marked with Mauser logo followed by “Mauser-Werke A.G. Oberndorf a.N.” with “Mod. HSc” and “Kal. 7.65mm”, while the Eagle L Police acceptance mark is on the trigger guard web. Full serial number “896834” appears on bottom of the frontstrap. Disassembly shows a matching barrel (stamped) and slide (electropenciled). Wood grips with pressed checkering. Two original magazines with in-the-white body having rounded toe and 7 indicators holes on each side. Mauser banner floorplate on primary mag only; the other floorplate is unmarked. Complete with original leather German police holster dated 1942.

Condition:

Near excellent, bright, original factory salt blue with sharp edge wear and slight thinning of backstrap where in contact with holster flap as would be expected from a largely carried but seldom used police pistol. Comparable condition oil darkened grips with intact tips showing no repair. Magazines with slight age darkened bodies, most of the original bluing on their floorplates intact. EXC leather with staining in exposed areas, no suggestion of repair. Mirror bore. Perfect manual mechanics. An attractive late WWII German Police Eagle L rig!
