I remember posting about this in the old Yahoo broomhandle forum many years ago. We're talking UNLOADED pistol here right?

I seem to recall that I'd found that if you take the muzzle and press it down on a hard surface while depressing the trigger you should be able to release the locking release at the end of the frame. It would appear to require more than two hands but it was doable. Since the old Yahoo groups is long gone I can't recall the exact procedure I'd written but it did work and it was used by several others successfully. No holes. No special tools. No tricks... You'll need the hammer cocked of course or that lock won't go anywhere...

It made sense to us at the time that Mauser must have encountered this before and there was a field-usable technique to disassemble an incorrectly assembled pistol without an armorer around...
