Waffenfabrik Mauser 6,35 manual

campfooey · 08-15-2015, 09:44 PM

I found this at a flea market in Kingman last year and was wondering what it is. The cover is in German but the rest is in English. Its in pretty good shape but there is a name written on the top of the cover. I thought it was made for imported pistols. Is there any collector value for it. John

There is most likely collector value... (I for one would like to get a copy).

It's an original manual for the Mauser M1910 6.35mm pocket pistol.

Cool booklet. Definitely collectible.

It's for the Model 1910 .25 ACP (6.35 mm) version.

Here are 2 examples of German manuals for the M1910/1914. The German manuals usually discussed both pistols, not a single pistol.
Which makes me believe that your manual predates the introduction of the M1914 pistol and was printed between 1910 and 1914.

The red manual was printed in 1925.
The light manual was printed in 1936.

The cover is actually translated into English, except for the company name.

Note 'Oberndorf on the Neckar' instead of the German 'Oberndorf am Neckar'.
