Notes:
Mauser 7.65mm (.32 ACP) Semi-Automatic Pistol
A Mauser 7.65mm (.32 ACP) semi-automatic pistol manufactured by Waffenfabrik Mauser, Oberndorf, Germany. The pistol is chambered for the 7.65mm Browning cartridge and features a compact, blowback-operated semi-automatic design characteristic of Mauser's early 20th-century pocket pistols.
The pistol bears serial number 292510. Based on the caliber, configuration, and serial number, it is consistent with a Mauser Model 1914 or a closely related production variant. The serial number places the pistol within the later portion of the Model 1914 production sequence, although the exact production year and variant should be confirmed by examination of the manufacturer's markings, proof marks, slide configuration, and other physical characteristics.
The pistol represents Mauser's development of compact commercial and service-oriented pocket pistols during the early 20th century. The 7.65mm Browning (.32 ACP) cartridge was widely used in European pocket pistols during this period because of its suitability for compact semi-automatic designs.
The firearm is described as a semi-automatic pistol and is identified as other in the supplied listing. Case not included.
