Made in Germany during the WWII era, this Model 1934 is a commercial export example identified by the "GERMANY" export stamp. The left slide bears "MAUSER-WERKE A.G. OBERNDORF A/N," the right slide is marked "Cal. 7,65 D.R.P.u.A.P.," and the frame carries the Mauser banner logo, offering desirable, correct factory legends.
The pistol uses a simple blowback, striker-fired action with an 8+1 capacity in .32 ACP. Safety features include a manual safety and a magazine disconnect. Notably, this variant automatically closes the slide when a magazine is inserted.
Its compact, micro-size format includes a 3.4-inch fixed, exposed barrel with an integral front blade on the barrel collar. The slide has an open-top design with rear serrations and an integral rear notch sight, and the magazine release is the heel-type, as expected for this pattern.
Construction is blued carbon steel with checkered walnut grips bordered for secure purchase. A lanyard ring at the grip heel and the correct single-stack magazine with lanyard-loop floorplate extension complete the period-correct configuration.
