Bill -- Sorry that I missed your earlier message from GB.... glad to see that you figured out how to get here. 20-shot Mauser is a super rare gun and surprisingly, two collectors (at least two! you and Albert) have it in this thread. I have seen it in books and periodicals, but have never seen a physical one. There are quite a few Spanish fixed magazine 20-shot pistols (Astra, etc) in a museum, but I did not see a Mauser 20-shot there. Since local people have never seen a real Mauser 20-shot, when they mention the adjective, the term actually refers to Schnellfeuer which was very common in the museum.

Welcome to the forum.
