Superb reproduction of the Mauser C-96 pistol, in metal, with simulated loading mechanism.
In the wide range of short arms, the C-96 has the honor of bearing the name "classic", also known as "Broomhandle".
This is a semi-automatic pistol made in Germany from 1896 to 1937, created by the great Peter Paul Mauser. This semi-automatic pistol, with over a century of history, has an extremely functional and practical design which has led it to be recognized as one of the best weapons in the world.
The German army received over 100,000 units, which it used during World War I, when close-range fighting in the trenches abounded. Communist Russia acquired large quantities of C-96, a weapon which eventually received the nickname "Bolo-Mauser", that is, the Mauser of the Bolsheviks. When World War II began in 1939, the C-96 was still active.
