Built in 1940, this HSc reflects early-war production with its polished blued slide and frame and the Mauser banner legend on the slide. The compact steel construction and clean lines show the model’s distinctive wartime form.
It operates with a DA/SA trigger in a simple blowback action. The external, partially shrouded hammer, manual safety that doubles as a decocker, and a red "fire" dot indicator provide the user interface expected on an early HSc.
Controls include a heel-type magazine catch, and the frame incorporates a lanyard-loop slot in the butt. The slide uses diagonal rear serrations for charging.
Sight regulation is via fixed, integral sights: an integral front blade and an integral rear notch. The pistol retains its checkered walnut grip panels, and it feeds from an 8-round single-stack magazine for an 8+1 capacity. Barrel length is 3.4 inches.
