C96 question - safety lever

Steinar · 10-11-2008, 03:52 AM

The broom is clearly marked 84707, a second look in daylight today verified it. I know very little about C96's, but I can't see any evidence of a a reline.. Is there any particular way to tell?
This broom had active rust inside and out after years of storage, had to give it a Kroil soak and 'Big .45' pad rubbing (kindly donated by Policeluger!) before it ended up as shown above. Was surprised to see how well the bore turned out, as my previous brooms where all 'shot out'..

It's matching in numbers except for the grip panels, they have a different number stamped inside. I can verify that the calibre is 7.63mm and not a 9mm..
btw. wish it was a Schnellfeuer
