Vlim, Thanks for posting information on these post war pistols. I have acquired a few of them over the years even though there isn't much collector interest here in the U.S. This pistol is one I bought at a local gun show just a few years ago. It came with the box which is pictured and the finger extension mag.

I added the spare mag. It didn't come with its manual so over the years I have acquired different ones hoping to come across the one that would be correct for it. Problem is, I wouldn't know which one, if any, of the three I have is correct for this pistol. I just keep all three with it for that reason. I hope you will find this one interesting.

The distinctive nickname for the pistol comes from the contour of its slide, which is milled down and reduced in width and thickness over the ejection port and all the way down the front arms of the slide.

The Mauser is in very good condition. The last gun shop owner to see it said 90-95%, that was a long time ago and it's in the same condition. All original with matching numbers and no import marks. At the time the gunsmith saw it he looked up the serial number and said it was rare, I don't recall why,. When the HSc (Hahn Selbstspanner modell C; double-action model C) did go into production, the guns were serial numbered starting with #700,000, to pick up where Mauser 1914/34 pistol production ended. A total of 252,000 HSc pistols were made during World War II, with 137,000 purchased by the German Army,.

So he acquired all pattern room, prototype and reference pistols that were still there at the time. So it is safe to assume that both number 10 and 11 came from the factory's reference collection.
