Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Broomhandle Mauser Model 1896 was one of the most distinctive pistols ever manufactured. Most were made with pistol length barrels and the grip frames were slotted for attachment to shoulder stocks. Ladder sights from 0-500 meters and 0-1000 meters were the standard. However, in their book “System Mauser”, Breathed and Schroeder show several photographs of carbines manufactured from the 1890’s up to the early 1900’s in different configurations (small ring hammer, large ring hammer, flat side cone hammer, etc.). Most of the early carbines have barrel lengths of 11.75”, but some of the later carbines had barrel lengths of 14.5” and 16”, although these had the 0-500 meter sights and late type safety. The stocks are two piece fancy walnut. The forend is formed to the barrel and the front of the magazine and has a Schnabel tip. The buttstock forms a pistol grip with the back of the frame.
