pre World War 1 Mauser Model 1896 pistol with stock

Mauser Model 1896 was used, it was known as the "flat side" and "cone hammer"

a very early C96, below the 10,000 range to say the least. Omdurman happened in 1898

Agreed on all that. Still, guys do buy first run handguns, I know, I've done it myself.
