Built as a compact, steel-framed blowback pistol, this Model 1915 is chambered in .32 ACP and sized for discreet carry in a micro format. It uses a single-action, striker-fired trigger system and a detachable box magazine with a 7+1 capacity.
This example is the straight-slide (non-humpback) variant, with vertical rear slide serrations for manipulation. The blued finish is paired with checkered wood grip panels and a lanyard ring at the heel of the grip.
Sight equipment is straightforward and period-correct, with fixed iron sights that use a blade front and notch rear. The listed barrel length is 3.4 inches.
Markings are a key identifying feature on this pistol. The left-side slide legend and Mauser trademark are visible, and the serial number 48558 is stamped on the left front of the slide near the muzzle and on the rear of the frame.
