Looking For Information On A Few Guns

[Sausagecake]

Hello everyone, I inherited three handguns from my grandparents some time ago. However, I do not know much about them. I know that I have a Luger, a Mauser with Waffenfabrik Mauser Oberndorf A Neckar imprinted on the side, and a 22 cal single six Ruger. If anyone could tell me a little bit about these guns that would be great. I am going to try and figure out how to upload pictures of them as soon as I can.

Without seeing the individual guns in question (condition, markings, etc), nobody's going to be able to tell you anything beyond what is already readily available elsewhere on the Web.

I am going to try and figure out how to upload pictures of them as soon as I can.

This will help:

Make a photobucket account, it's free to do. Then once you download the pics to photobucket. Than all you have to do is copy, and paste them to the thread.

Does the Luger have DWM and 1920 stamped on it?

 

[Orsetto Lavatore]

The "Mauser" you have, is a C96 "Broom handle". It fires a cartridge called the 7.63x25 mauser.

identification

Yes, the mauser is a c-96. Go here to nail down the identification of this model. Mauser C-96

The luger looks to be a standard WW2 issue, but it will be a bit tougher to nail down the exact type, I have read that there are over 3,000 different variations of lugers. these guys in the forum might be able to help. Pistole Parabellum

The Ruger looks to be a fairly early single six, but the condition will put it down to just a shooter grade, but it will still be a great shooter. me, personally would leave it as is, and just shoot and enjoy it, but lots would reblue it. it looks to have Franzite type stag grips that were popular in the 50's and 60's.

The only thing about identification is that one very tiny marking could make a huge difference in prices on both the mauser and luger.

You'll find lots of information about the Luger and C-96 Broomhandle Mauser on surplusrifle.com. I'm quite jealous, a Broomhandle has been on my list for a while and that one looks to be in very nice condition.

The "Mauser" you have, is a C96 "Broom handle". It fires a cartridge called the 7.63x25 mauser.

And fire ONLY 7.63x25 Mauser in it. It will chamber 7.62x25 Tokarev, but that is y too powerful. Because Tok is much easier to find, many folks say to use it. DON'T!

I can tell you right now I'll take the Broomhandle off your hands. The Luger, you wouldn't have to twist my arm to take off your hands. Those 2 are keepers for sure.

Thank you for the information everyone. So shooting these guns wouldn't hurt their value? Also the Luger has 1921 stamped on it, not sure about the DWM.

Travis, your best bet is to do a intense cleaning of the two guns in question.

Who told you it would hurt them to shoot them?
