German WWI Mauser C96 Broom Handle Non-Firing Display Pistol Type of Manufacture: New Made Item New Made Item: IMA is proud to offer a high quality affordable full metal and wood replica of the famous German WWI Mauser C96 pistol.
Many may also recognize this gun as the same that Han Solo (Harrison Ford) used in the Star Wars films. Unlicensed copies of the gun were also manufactured in Spain and China in the first half of the 20th century. The main distinctive identifying characteristics of the C-96 are the integral box magazine in front of the trigger, the long barrel, the wooden shoulder stock which can double as a holster or carrying case, and a grip shaped like the handle of a broom. The grip's distinctive appearance earned the gun the nickname "Broomhandle" in the English-speaking world, and in China the C96 was nicknamed the "box cannon" because of both its square-shaped internal magazine and the fact it could be holstered in its wooden box-like detachable stock.The Mauser C96, with its shoulder stock, long barrel and high-velocity cartridge, had superior range and better penetration than most other standard pistols; the 7.63x25mm Mauser cartridge was the highest velocity commercially manufactured pistol cartridge in existence until the advent of the. 357 Magnum cartridge in 1935.
