Deactivated WWII German Mauser C96 Schnellfeuer Pistol

This variant of the Mauser C96 is referred to as the "Schnellfeuer" meaning “fast fire”, and is capable of fully automatic fire. Other designations that it was given were the M1932 or M712. It was in production from 1932 to 1936 with around 100,000 made. This being a fairing early example, circa 1933. The Schnellfeuer was chambered in 7.63mm, a nonstandard German military calibre and deemed unsuitable for front line troops. The majority were issued to the Waffen SS and other Nazi paramilitary organisations. They were hugely popular within these groups and units and were used to great effect throughout WWII, and along with the PO8 Luger, the Schnellfeuer was a very popular bring back by Allied troops.

This pistol is available and is currently at the proof house being re-certificated.
