My father bought this M96 in 1960 from a US Army veteran and I do not remember the entire serial number but it is 140xxx and all matching. The stock was damaged years ago and is also matching to the pistol serial. Calibre is 7.63mm and years ago I was able to buy a few hundred rounds of the Rem 30 Mauser cartridges. The bore is a little dark but still nice. I believe this is a pre WW1 pistol - finish is original.
