In the past, I had nine instances of 1980 imported C96 from China. It's a big mistake that I sold them at low price years ago. Nowadays, even getting a couple of small parts back cost me the whole gun price that I sold. It's too late to kick myself. A few parts on Mauser are fragile -- extractor, firing pin, safety lever, and rear sight pushdown button.
You may want to check the function of the safety lever on this instance. In normal gun, hammer down position, pushing safety lever up, the hammer should move about 1mm away from the back of the firing pin. From picture, the hammer did not move on this one?
