Default WWI German military pistols

German 1914 Imperial marked German Mausers. They are my favorite to collect and shoot and still relatively cheap to acquire. The Imperial mark is in front of the back sight. ( One grip has the wrong grip screw which I replaced.The cost was ten dollars for one screw)
Thanks for looking,
Joe

Hi English:

Very interesting post - what caliber are these Mausers - .32ACP? Can you ball park the value range for these pistols?

Thanks,

Dave

Those are .32's. The .25 looks different. Slide grooves are wider.

Can't cite a value. Someone will.

I had a 1934 Mauser with the Kriegsmarine Mark on it, one of the early ones that was engraved on the gun, not stamped. Let it get away, a long time ago. They are great little shooters.

Dave, The prices range is from 375 to 475 for an Imperial marked Mauser 1914 (32 cal.). As the condition gets better so does the price(up) but very good prices for a "well made" German pistol.In my opinion, every bit as good as Walther pistols!

Many thanks for your response and some really great information and photos. I've never owned a Mauser, but now I have something to think about if I encounter one.

Best regards,

Dave
