I just opened their catalog. It arrived yesterday. Lot #3272 A is interesting. Claimed being a "Mauser Model 1896 Export Model Pistol". I just sold one, but Mauser in 9x25mm caliber is supposed being rare and I did not expect many "Export Model" appears on the market. Not many were made. How could we see "Export Model" one after another appearing on the market unstopping??

But this pistol's s/n is 4167, with 50-500 sight, and German military acceptance stamp. So it's not an Export Model, it's a regular 9x19mm Red 9 without "9" on the grip. The title is a little bit misleading.
