4/15/22 – This is a complete, all matching example of a Mauser “Red 9” broomhandle pistol made during WWI as part of the Imperial German Army contract. Unlike its commercial counterparts, “red 9” broomhandles were chambered in more common 9mm Para caliber, which was used by the german army and were marked with a large 9 on the grips which was then filled with red or orange paint to help German soldiers differentiate its caliber from the standard .30 mauser cartridge. Only about 130,000 of these very collectible guns were made, with only about 100,000 being accepted by the army and issued to the troops. Considered to be a substitute for a light carbine, they became very popular in trench warfare and were used by some of the Germany’s elite crack troops. This gun retains around 98% of its original blue, with hints of wear on the high edges and a few light streaks of wear on the underside of the barrel. Grips and bore are in excellent condition. All the numbers match, including the grips. This is a complete rig with its original minty matching shoulder stock, leather harness (dated 1916), cleaning rod, and spare magazine spring.
