I need help with identifying

Welcome to the forum!

Rick meant to say .30 Luger for the chamber, aka 7.65 x 21 Parabellum. 7.63×25mm Mauser would be a no-go!

Such slips happen..."extractor/ejector" is another one we mess up, if we aren't careful!

If this turns out to be chambered in 9mm (not likely, but possible) its value as a collectible would be enhanced.

I wouldn't knock the 70s' Mausers too much. I find the enterprise to have been a worthwhile attempt to produce affordable Lugers. Same for the stainless Lugers made in Houston... I can't help but admire such love for the pistol combined with the stones (and $) to try to make them.

I have a 70's Mauser in 7.65 6in Barrel - love to shoot. So lose the snobbery they are great guns.
Did have a piece break but G.T. got replacement parts to me.

Only thing I am not a fan of is the grip safety, I do have to adjust grip to fully depress so it will fire.

I also have a '70s Mauser with a 6" bbl. that I am quite proud of. I sent the grips off and had them modified so that they feel "more correct" now. It is a great shooter and a nice "looker".
