Mauser HSc (Kriegsmarine)

Lyn Islaub · 05-27-2019, 10:23 PM

Normally, Kreigsmarine accepted HSc pistols carried Eagle N proof marks on the frame by the trigger area and on the front of the slide. The actual Kreigsmarine acceptance marks were larger than standard proofs with a NSDAP eagle over a capital M usually on the left or right hand side of the slide and sometimes on the frame just below the slide. Additionally once the pistol had been assigned there would be a marking (letter and 4 digit number) on the front or rear grip strap to designate which fleet it was assigned to. My old eyes are having trouble reading the proof on the trigger guard area, but I suspect it is a normal Eagle N proof mark. If you could enlarge the 3rd picture from the top, I might be able to comment further.
