Default Mystery frame

I have a frame which is very puzzling:

- its has no stock lug but this area, while being a smooth curve, protrudes as far back as a frame with stock lug.

- safety area is blank but appears to have been milled slightly deeper on its entire surface. It does not show any trace of polished bright safety area (down position).

- safety slot is long and 1906 type

- it has grip safety features but block with safety spring and safety pivot hole is non standard compared to std 1906.

- it has horizontal C/N proof on left fwd frame rail above assembly lever.


I hope a few expert forum members can help me identify it.


Rgds,


Alain Capel

Alain, Now that I've had a chance to do a bit of research, I suggest that you check page 270 of Lugers at Random re M1934/06 Mauser. If your frame did not have the grip safety provisions or a lanyard loop, and had an "N" prefixed serial number, I'd say it was one of the new E German production from the early 1950s. Tom h

Hello Tom,


Thanks a lot for your message.

My frame has a lanyard loop, and I imagine it could be a frame with added grip safety.

I will check page 270 of Lugers at Random right now.


Kind regards,


Alain

This is a wild guess, but it might be what is called a "1913 Commercial". What is the caliber and serial number range?
