Summary[edit]

Description

Pistolet automatique modèle 1896 - calibre 7,63 mm. Model 1896 automatic pistol (Construktion 96) - 7.63 mm caliber (cal 30). Real phenomenon. Semi-regulatory arm of the German army until the Third Reich, he was at the 4 corners of the world for good or bad causes: in South Africa in the trenches of 14-18 (in cal 9mm) in the Red Army during the revolution of 17, among the Druze, in the Chinese revolution and against the Japanese during the second world war, Indochina, Korea and even in Algeria. He participated in Latin America, Africa and Orient Middle East at all civil and military conflict... Winston Churchill was fond of the Mauser C96, and used one at the Battle of Omdurman and during the Second Boer War; similarly, Lawrence of Arabia carried a Mauser C96 for a period during his time in the Middle East. Chinese Communist general Zhu De carried a Mauser C96 during his Nanchang Uprising and other future conflicts.

This was, at the time, one of the best designed and most expensive pistols ever made. It was constructed to have completely interlocking parts, without a single screw in its construction [other than one to hold the grips in place].
