I would like to verify some information on a 1941 dated Mauser Banner with the grip safety.
One reference that I have read indicates that this model was chambered for 7.65mm and has a 4 and 3/4" barrel. A second reference says it should have a 4" barrel chambered in 9mm. Did they make this particular model in both calibers?
Also one reference indicates the safety lever as being up in the safe position with no safety indications marked on the frame. The other reference infers that the safety position is marked 'Gesichert', with lever being down for the safe position. Again, which is correct, if not both?
I would appreciate any information that is forth coming on this subject.
In 'very good' condition, with all matching parts, no importer's mark, and with a period holster, would this particular gun be valued at $2000? Also, is this a model which could be easily faked? I realize that the price would be speculative without photos, which are not available at this time.
Thank you, barr
