Most C96s came from China were in NRA fair to poor shape. Reason? Tough environment was one. But there was another reason: C96 pistol was used as an infantry weapon in China, not a side arm.

German made probably 10 million Mauser rifles.... but NRA excellent Mauser rifle is scarce on the U.S. gun market. Finding a mint Mauser military rifle is harder than finding a Red 9, or Luger, Why? because it's an infantry weapon, used hard.
