History Of Mauser
 

Hi,

I found this website www.thetruthaboutguns.com had an article about the history of Mauser from it's founding to 1945. Thought the stuff about pistols would be interesting for the forum.

Joe - Got a direct link to the article??? :confused:

The article's at:

http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/201...-told-pistols/

The article has a number of errors in it. Better to get a copy of Jon Speed's book "Mauser Pistolen"...

http://www.amazon.com/Mauser-Pistole.../dp/0889354510

For example, the "G" date is from 1935 and not 1936, and he mixed up the M1934 and the M1910 in his pictures. This is what a model M1910 looks like:

Thanks Marc! If it's in error, then I've already wasted too much time on it. :rolleyes:

I hate these sites that have a constantly updated sequential URL. :soapbox:

And if you want to hear the real story, wait for our new book :)

Until now, we found no trace of original documentation that supports the 'Feederle' claim, for example, but many original documents that show a greater involvement of Paul Mauser himself than previously known. Some stories just continue to be reproduced by authors without verifying them.

Cool!!! Lots of photos??? When will it be published??? :thumbup: :) :cheers:

We hope it will be ready somewhere next year. It's currently in the proof reading stage :)

Until the new book comes out, take a look at Mauro and Gerben's website:

A shame that I don't read German or English! I can hardly wait for it to come out in American! :thumbup:

Well, just for you, we used a couple of very good American proof readers :)
