Recently I looked for some information about large ring flatside Mausers with rubber grips on "The Mauser Self Loading Pistol" and on "System Mauser", althugh two boks have always been my "C96 Bible" I didn't get any result.

Sergio,
I also consider both books as the best sources available even today. However, I still think that the Broomhandle bibliography lacks an effort like Sturgess/Götz and Still books on Lugers.

Regarding the pistol itself, I think it an outstanding example of a Large Ring Hammer. And the grips are a bonus, in my opinion.

Saluti,
Douglas
