This should be the one. It's sold to me in store. I don't understand why seller still leaves the ad there. If someone win it, how could it be delivered... unless he has another one for sale. Highly unlikely though. But who knows,,,, Erickson estimated ten and saw three, plus #84658, and plus this #84655, that's five. Even plus #88253 that Joe S saw, that's six. There are still four left. He may have another one.

Anyway,,, if this is another one, I will give it a try again to get a pair. If it's the same one, no problem for me either.

[Edit] Albert has one on facebook in 1930 s/n range (#868567), and Sturgess had a pair of reblued in 5xxxx came from Brazil (#50740, #50741). Those three are a little bit odd. Even adding those three in, the total is nine, still have one left.

Was it a second broomhandle??? Sold for $5,025...

Did you get it???

"No magazine"...

If yours came with magazine, then this must be second broomhandle '714'...

I am the winner. But I doubt that he has another one... I have not contact him yet, he's in Texas, store not open until 10am central. If he indeed has another one, $5025 is a steal, I will very happy to pay for it to make a pair.

Numerous C96 collections went through auction sales in the past 10 years. I have seen only one of this in RIAC 2011 session (it's the same 84658 in gunboards.com). In the same time frame, I have met a dozen or so 20-shots (if I remembered right, Mauser only sold 177 20-shots). Even if Erickson's estimation of "10" were too low, I guess there are fewer of these than famous CC Luger (50?)

Magazine is nothing. $200-$300 item, depends on condition. Not numbered. And there are plentiful of them. But I changed my mind, I will leave it as is without magazine, it came to me without magazine, then, no magazine.
