SOLD ULTRA RARE NAZI ISSUED C96 BROOMHANDLE WITH HZA WAFFENAMT

THIS IS A VERY RARE EXAMPLE OF A GERMAN WW1 ISSUED, IMPERIAL PROOFED C96 BROOMHANDLE IN 7.63MM THAT HAS BEEN INPSECTED AND WAFFENAMTED DURING THE NAZI ERA. TO THE LEFT OF THE WW1 IMPERIAL PROOF THERE IS FOUND AN EAGLE HZA NAZI REWORK CARTOUCHE. THIS IS ONE OF THE VERY FEW BROOMHANDLES THAT CAN BE CONFIRMED TO HAVE BEEN USED BY THE GERMANS IN WW2. VERY LIKELY THIS WAS AN SS ISSUED WEAPON AS THEY ARE WELL KNOWN TO HAVE USED BROOMHANDLES A NOTABLE EXAMPLE BEING THE ARDENTINE CAVES MASSACRE IN 1944, AND OF COURSE WE HAVE ALL SEEN PICTURES OF THEM IN USE BY THE SS. THIS IS EXACTLY THE TYPE OF WEAPON THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SCROUNGED UP FOR THEIR USE. THIS PISTOL IS ALL MATHCING EXCEPT FOR THE SHOULDER STOCK. THE BORE IS EXCELLENT.
