German Military Mauser HSc

#1

Post by etprescottaz01 »

Here is a Mauser HSc I found about 18 years ago in a Prescott gun shop one Saturday morning.
The name of a German soldier is inside the holster with a feldpost number. The pistol is in nice shape and has a spare magazine along with the original holster.

The feldpost number in the holster was assigned to a Luftwaffe signal company. This feldpost and signal company were located in France and ceased to exist on 06\11\1944 five days after the D-Day Landings.

Neat piece of military history. Guns without import marks are my favorite in the c&r world.

I paid too much for it when I bought it in 2002 not one I really plan on selling. Fun pistol to have and shoot once in awhile, I could not afford to replace it.

Side note, it works really well, it likes the hot S@B .32acp (7.65 Browning) The domestic stuff is not as hot and does not work as well.

I would buy another and definitely a modern production gun, the PPK always sold better so these guns never really got to be as well known and popular, they are really nice pistols.

Same here. When I lived in Prescott occasionally I find a really nice C&R.

Prescott with that VA Hospital and all those retirees had the best dresser drawer finds wander into the gunshops on a Saturday morning 20 years ago.
