(A) RARE VL&D RETAILED FLATSIDE LARGE RING MAUSER C96 SEMI-AUTOMATIC CARBINE.

(A) RARE VL&D RETAILED FLATSIDE LARGE RING MAUSER C96 SEMI-AUTOMATIC CARBINE. A very nice example of a scarce flat side, large ring carbine manufactured near the end of the 19th century. It has the shorter style (11 - 3/4") rust blued barrel with a dovetailed half moon front sight on a serrated, ramp base. The rear tangent sight is graduated from 50-500 meters. The elongated octagonal barrel extension has the "WAFFENFABRIK / MAUSER / OBERNDORF A/N" address along with German crown U proof and the serial number. Matching numbered large ring hammer. Rust blued flat side carbine frame marked on the left with "VON LENGERKE / & DETMOLD / NEW-YORK" importer/retailer stamp. Rather than having the traditional pistol grip, these carbines have a milled lug to attach the stock. The 1-piece walnut stock has a round knob pistol grip, not dissimilar in shape to the standard broom handle pistol, extending back to a checkered hard rubber butt plate with intertwined "MW" Mauser Werke monogram. Stock iron has the matching serial number, as does the frame just above it. Barrel is also mounted with a Schnabel tipped contoured walnut forend which runs down the front of the magazine. CONDITION: Very Fine. The barrel retains most of its rust blue with a few areas of toning on the top and an areas of cleaning towards the muzzle with some evidence of older oxidation spotting. Upper also retains the vast majority of its original blue with some toning on the rails. Frame has a few scratches and handling marks, as well as light high edge wear. Magazine floorplate has a large cleaned area of oxidation spotting. Stock irons retain strong portions of bright fire blue, the balance drifting to patina. Stocks have expected scattered impressions. Butt plate has a few minor marks. Defined bore with some minor abrasion. Fine mechanics. A nice example of a very scarce carbine.Name Value Barrel Length 11 - 3/4" Caliber/Bore .30 Mauser FFL Status Antique Manufacturer Mauser Model C96 Paperwork Research Serial Number 249, Name, Value, Barrel Length, 11 - 3/4", Caliber/Bore, .30 Mauser, FFL Status, Antique, Manufacturer, Mauser, Model, C96, Paperwork, Research, Serial Number, 249
