Mauser Model 1934

The matching magazine and pistol markings are certainly intriguing, but anybody with an engraver could have applied these. (The cut of the engraving also looks a little fresh. One would expect SOME patina or corrosion to have worked its way into the engraving cuts over 70 plus years).

I doubt the Kriegsmarine would have engraved a property mark on a commercial pistol. If you can find supporting nazi era markings on the pistol, then it becomes a potential collector's piece.

At the tagged price of $199, you certainly cannot go wrong in purchasing this pistol, whether it turns out to be a collectable or not.
