... moreover after reading the short "Mauser C96 history" bY GUN BROKER I'd like to add that the "broomhandle" was never the standard issued pistol of Imperial Germany as it failed the army tests. If I'm not wrong Germany was compelled to enter into a contract with Mauser for the C96 because they were desperately short of service pistols, and broomhandles were issued only to reservists.
