Built during the Weimar era and export-marked for commercial sale, this Model 1914 reflects Mauser’s interwar production with German export stampings and the Mauser banner cartouche on the frame. The slide and frame both carry serial markings.
Its compact size, 3.14 in fixed barrel, and 8+1 capacity in .32 ACP make it a classic pocket pistol format. The design is a striker-fired, fixed-barrel blowback system with the slide serving as a top cover.
Construction is all steel with smooth wood grip panels, a manual safety, and fixed sights comprising a small front blade and a rear notch. Vertical rear serrations and an open-top ejection port aid manipulation and ejection, while a lanyard ring at the heel adds a practical carry feature.
The exterior shows a two-tone finish. As designed for this model, the slide locks open on an empty magazine and is typically intended to close when a loaded magazine is inserted.
