Hi Folks!

Itâ??s been my experience that all Mauser model 1914â??s and C96â??s were rust blued. Early Model 1934â??s were rust blued - Iâ??ve seen a few late Model 1934â??s that might have been (originally) salt blued. All the Mauser HSc pistols Iâ??ve seen have been hot salt blued.

Iâ??d take all this to mean Mauser switched over from rust to hot salt blue after the completion of the production of the Model 1914 and C96, and before the beginning of production of the HSc - possibly during the production of the Model 1934.

Best regards,

Kyrie
