This is a very tough gun to locate in any decent condition and never this crisp! In 98% mint sharp condition and all matching, we have a Mauser Model 1896 “Bolo Model” Pistol. The name Bolo is a derivative of the name Bolshevik and the pistols got this nickname due to the fact that they were used extensively by both sides during the Russian Revolutionary and Civil War era. They might just have easily been called the “Chinese Warlord Model” as the vast majority of these pistols that were sold went to arm the various competing forces in China. This is a very typical later production example that would have been made in the mid to late 1920’s. This example is not Germany export marked as almost all of them were. Other than it being a WW2 bringback we nothing of its history, but it certainly was well taken care of. I would consider this to be one of the hardest C96 variants to locate in top condition as most of them sold were shipped to very hostile and exotic places where they stayed in constant use during their service life.
