C96 Mauser Pistol – The 20th Century Classic

The roar of steel that crossed empires and revolutions

At the crossroads of two world wars, when trenches were made of mud and steel and empires trembled under the weight of change, a pistol emerged that would define an era. The Mauser C96 , also known as the "Broomhandle," was not just a weapon: it was the symbol of a turbulent era, a silent companion in the pockets of soldiers, revolutionaries, and officers around the world.

The Design of the German Genius

Born from the mind of visionary Peter Paul Mauser in 1896, the C96 was one of the first mass-produced semi-automatic pistols. Its distinctive silhouette, with a magazine well in front of the trigger and a broom-shaped grip, earned it its legendary nickname. Produced for over 40 years, its rugged and functional design made it equally feared and admired.

The German Empire adopted it en masse, sending over 100,000 units to the front lines during World War I , where close-quarters combat demanded speed, power, and reliability. It soon crossed borders and was wielded by Bolshevik officers in the Russian Revolution , earning it the nickname "Bolo-Mauser." Even at the dawn of World War II , this pistol still resonated on the battlefields, proving its durability and relevance.

Although no army issued it as standard issue, the Mauser C96 became a universal legend , used in wars, rebellions, coups, and iconic films. It is, without a doubt, an essential piece in any historical collection.
