I have seen several posts on this forum and others concerning Eugene's lack of response and delays... he takes forever to complete a project is a common concern. Two months ago I received from Eugene my restored Broomhandle Mauser C96-M30 after waiting over 5 months and sending several unanswered emails. I was stunned with the pristine quality of the restoration... It was absolutely amazing from finish to function, including a beautiful shoulder stock. It was the equivalent to walking out of the Mauser factory in 1930 and opening the box of my brand new Broomhandle. Every aspect of the restoration was of very high quality, and carefully done. Every serial number and proofmark was crisp and clear. All edges and contours perfectly matched the photos of a totally original and pristine C96 that is worth north of $8K. It also shoots as good as it looks... knocking down an 8" steel plate at 35 ft with no problem... repeatedly. In short, Eugene's skill and artistry are worth the wait. Be patient... you won't be sorry when you get the final restoration.
