1/26/23 – This is a Mauser Bolo pistol from shortly after the Great War. After the Armistice, the Allies imposed restrictions on German arms production, and handguns were limited in barrel length and caliber. Mauser began producing new pistols again in the early 1920s, and while the standard Mauser 7.63 mm caliber was in compliance with the Treaty of Versailles, the 5.5″ barrel was too long. Instead of making guns identical to their prewar or wartime commercials but with shorter barrels, Mauser essentially put their prewar Bolo back into production. This postwar Bolo was the standard C-96 made by Mauser through the 1920s. This one is mismatched but has the proper “Double Crown U” proofs. We believe the finish on this one has been at least partially restored, because some parts are blued when they should be in the white. In any case, it retained roughly 85% of its bluing with spotty wear on both sides of the frame and along the barrel. Brown patina on the grip straps and some minor pitting on the left side of the frame. Fitted with period-correct wood grips that are numbered but not matching to the gun. The rifling in the bore is a bit worn with pin-pricking throughout.
