Cangrads, you got a nice piece there!
Hope there is somebody out there who can verify my comments and I�´m not the really specialist about those!

There are existing some different variations. and 2 calibers, 6,35 and 7,65.
It was built almost before the WWI as model 1910 Sidelatch (first variation) in 6,35.
was also between commercial use in Police and Army service !
If yours has a army actaptance stamp it should normally be at the rear sight aerea! But the fact it is marked "Germany" is meaning that it was sold in the early days to the US.
In early German Police books( Schmidt 1928) it is called Mauser Taschenpistole (pocket pistol) and is designed to be between the 6,35 caliber and the 9mm Luger.
The numbering practise is different, early models are numbered all over but late 1910/34 are just numbered on the main parts.
