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 97-98% with only minor muzzle and high edge wear.There is very minor surface spotting in a couple areas.Bore is shiny with strong rifling.Very nice fire blue is still present on small parts.
