Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Because the Model 1914 was introduced just before the beginning of World War I, it did not become available for commercial sales outside of Germany until after the war. Even though the German military had purchased very large quantities of the gun during the war, it was not the standard issue military pistol and so did not fall under the post-war restrictions imposed by the allies. This variant was manufactured from approximately 1923 to 1929, with approximately 178,000 made. The fourth variant, Model 1914, is defined by its two-line slide address in all capital sans-serif characters as follows: A few early examples will be found without the Mauser banner on the sideplate. The right side inscription is in all capital sans-serif characters: MAUSER - 7,65. After about serial number 461000 the right side slide inscription was changed to read: Cal. 7,65.

The front sight has a round half-moon shape, though early examples may have the ramp front sight. The finish is identical to that of the earlier variant, as is the grip, which continues to be available in either wood or plastic. At about serial number 460000 the finish is changed to a salt blue. The magazine continues to be unblued “in the white,” with a blued base plate that has a slot on one side into which the end of the magazine spring is inserted in order to retain the plate.
