Marc,
Thank you for the information it helped out alot. I just wanted to clarify the path of travel of this pistol with ya. First Mauser made the pistol and shipped it to Weimar Military Weapons office for acceptance and inspection then issued to the german army is that correct? This pistol belongs to my grandmother, it was passed down from my great grandfather who took it as payment from his nephew for services rendered. My great uncle brought it back from Germany when he returned home from the World War. This is such a large peice of history that shooting it or saleing it would be completely out of the question for me. What would you put a value of on this pistol? I am very interested about this magazine do you think the Germans took it from another pistol, change the serial number then turned around and put it back into use or do you think this magazine is not authentic? If it is a real magazine what is the proof mark on the bottom of it? Yes all serial numbers do match!
