Mauser C77 Hinterladung and Wilhelm Mauser

mrerick · 05-07-2017, 10:58 AM

I celebrate with Mauro acquisition of this very rare Mauser pistol.

I know that, for Mauro, this represents the other "bookend" of Mauser made handguns. In addition to having the first Mauser designed handgun, Mauro's earlier work was with the "Mauser Parabellum" effort in Oberndorf, representing the last Mauser made handgun.

The C77 posed an interesting problem when we were working on the book since, at that point, we didn't have access to one "in hand" and could only examine one in a nearby museum... Now that has been resolved!

Dear All,
I would like to inform you that on the next issue of the magazine "Man at Arms for the Gun and Sword Collector" a new article about the Hinterladung (rear-loader) Mauser C77 pistol written by myself and Gerben will be available.

The article summarizes the status of the research about this rare pistol in the Mauser Archive.

The article contains new unpublished data that has been found after that the book "Paul Mauser - His Life, Company, and Handgun Development 1838 - 1914" (www.paul-mauser-archive.com) was published; therefore the new data is not contained in the book chapter covering the C77 design and production. The article is therefore a good add-on to what described in the book.

A big thank to Marc Erickson for the help.

Good read!

Mauro
