C96 serial number legal question

Big Brother · 12-19-2002, 11:35 PM

I can confirm that I once owned an Early Mauser 1930 Model (serial number in the 843000 range)that had no serial number on the frame. Only the last three digits were stamped on the frame internally. The last three digits also appeared on the magazine floor plate inside. The full serial number was on the barrel extension only at the usual place. Yet this gun was obviously an all original Mauser manufactured C-96!
