My first Broomhandle think I did ok

Went in a store to purchase a different gun and came out with this in addition to my original purchase. I have identified as a postwar bolo. Paid $350...thoughts?

The only number that doesn't "match" is on a knob that pushes back and forth to the right of the sight ladder

Nothing wrong with that gun. Well used and honest. Is there anything left in the barrel?

Original 7.63

Keep us in on that...would make for some good info later. Targets included of course. By the way, it may shoot great as is...

Not bad at all. You will need to find a rear site slide and the part" knob that pushes back and forth to the right of the sight ladder" is called the bolt stop. Ill have to look at my M1930 model to see if its marked with a serial number. It might be marked on the part that sticks into the receiver.

I have one that has the map of the middle east stamped on it through proof marks. Got it in
Israel about 20 years ago. Also got a spare set of matching original grips and screw.

is the opening in the frame where the bolt stop rest bent? looks bent from bolt stop being slammed rear ward. i have 12 brooms and one of mine is bent.also own a schnell all of mine are red nines

You should do a simple layout and pics for us on those...don't forget the extra long mags and any other stuff lying around...

hello browningauto what did you think of schnell. its a 9mm death head did you see the death head stamp. bought the 9mm upper and placed it on the schnell frame. shoot like a dream

I didn't see the Death Head...I better look again. It's an old soldier though, surely shot it's share of ammo. That would be why the hammered bolt stop.

click on my photo bucket and then use side arrow.its several pic past the red arrow pic

I'll give you your $350 back. Those kind of deals are rare. We (the gunshop I work in/manage) just got a huge lot of handguns ranging from FN 1922 that's eagle marked, to a pair of P38's to a Mauser HsC in 7.65

Saw the open gunbox in another thread. Maybe I should link it here, looks superb. I wish you'd do a thread and lay them out in German "Stuff"... Hope the pic stays up.

You stole it! Good buy. Around 1987, I had a 1930 commercial model that had a shot out bore. Sent it off for relining, and it was a tack driver after that. Wish I still had it.
