Thanks for the great pics!
I am thinking these are pics from a Mauser factory anniversary book from the 1930's.
Saw that book for sale once,to expensive for me!

My favorite pic is of Alvin's dream job! Shooting brand new Mauser C96's all day! Where do I apply!

Didn't realize Mauser made sewing machines as well??

Mr. Schroeder had an article on a digest talking about Mauser's non-gun collectibles. If I remembered right, Mauser also made car, barber's trimmer, micrometer, etc in 1920s. Mauser was more fortunate on having international commercial market and did not totally depend on German military/police contracts, but they still made many non-gun stuffs in that era.

Yes it is. For those interested here is the listing:

Price is just too much but if it is original as seller claims to be and published in 1938 - it is a collectable item for sure.
