Mauser C96 Red 9

kidvett · 09-08-2003, 11:17 PM

I have recently located ( yet unseen ) a Red 9 with the barrel trimmed to 3.9 in. as stated in the Versailles Treaty. Is there any specific proofmarks related to that 1920 Rework?, aside from the Imperial proofs?

Hi Mark,
There is no specific proofmark that is applicable to the Versailles circumcision guns, but Simpson re-work proofs seem to be quite common.

How is the rear sight on that "red nine" fixed ore still with the 500 meters adjustment?
