![]() ![]() I would appreciate some hints and links to find value, if the serial number is correct I would assume its a very early gun. Its in an almost new holster marked "US" that is clearly made for the shape of the pistol, and certainly not consistent with the apparent age of the pistol. ![]() He does not have any paperwork, and doesn't remember where or when he got it. ![]() On the right side about an inch above the grip it reads GBERNLONS A/S (the A is tiny and might be a triangle or other mark) On the barrel at 12 0'clock just above the chamber it reads One inch above the left grip in a raised rectangle it reads “MAUSER” I have read that the serial number is not a reliable indicator of age. The serial number is 2xxxx, on the left side on the "thick" part of the barrel/chamber almost even where the base of the cartridge sits when loaded. It is not loaded, but the slide is locked open and I ask how to close it. Otherwise it is in fair condition, grips aren't cracked. I have not tried to clean the bore but I believe it is severely corroded. In particular he has what I understand to be a Mauser "Broomhandle" which appears to be intact, but the bore looks real bad. I am trying to help a non-computerized friend liquidate his excess firearms. I have some basic familiarity with handguns, mostly modern revolvers. ![]()
