TUE AUG 25, HARD TO FIND, GERMAN WWI MAUSER M1896/16 “RED 9” BROOMHANDLE PISTOL WITH MATCHING STOCK & VERY NICE HARNESS, VERY SHARP FULL RIG!

In 96% very sharp condition we have a Mauser M-1896/16 Red Nine Broomhandle pistol.  This pistol is all matching including the grips and the bore is excellent as well.  This is a early 1916 produced example with the depot applied “red 9″ in order to keep it from being confused with a C96 chambered in 7.63 caliber.  This rig has the original factory numbered matching stock, a super nice 1916 dated leather harness and the cleaning rod as well, everything you will need to go out on a trench raid with the stormtroopers.  

The Mauser Broomhandle pistol is one of the iconic weapons of WWI, they were tactically employed in the same fashion as sub machine guns were in WWII and were an invaluable asset to the Germans in short range combat.  They are one of the most recognized weapons from WWI and are extremely popular among collectors.  This is one of the very rare times when we get a complete intact matching example in the office out of a very old collection.  THIS IS A MUST HAVE PIECE!
