Alvin,

Thanks for your information, several years ago I did not get that book as I assumed it wasn't that informative, obviously I was wrong.
Recently I looked for some information about large ring flatside Mausers with rubber grips on "The Mauser Self Loading Pistol" and on "System Mauser", althugh two boks have always been my "C96 Bible" I didn't get any result.

Sergio

This type of panel is in "The Mauser Self Loading Pistol", page 33. The print quality of the book was poor, but I am sure panel "G" is the one. I heard one of the author, Jack Dunlap, had more than 300 C96s in his collection, that's a lot because the volume of this type of gun was relatively small in 1960s (majority of listings on gunbroker.com today are Chinese import of 1980s). Finding 300 collectible C96s took considerable effort, even when the price was only $30, $50, or $80 at that time. Price was their advantage. But they did not have internet at that time, had to run here or there joining numerous gun shows. Lots of effort, both financially and physically. Nowadays, the number of guns we have viewed are much bigger, thousands at minimum, and sitting in home Thanks the internet. That's our advantage. Of course, more fakes too.

Sergio,
I also consider both books as the best sources available even today. However, I still think that the Broomhandle bibliography lacks an effort like Sturgess/Götz and Still books on Lugers.

Regarding the pistol itself, I think it an outstanding example of a Large Ring Hammer. And the grips are a bonus, in my opinion.

Saluti,
Douglas
