Thanks alanint. So 16" barrel is a sign. The one that I met in the local store has 16" barrel 1930 style, most likely being a fake. The chamber length was much longer than pistol. Weird piece.

They received my payment for the flatside. The darn thing was known more than 40 years ago. s/n 30154 on page 72 of System Mauser. Hopefully, the condition did not change much after near half a century. I almost missed this one in the initial scan because the list title did not contain the word "broomhandle".
