What’s Included
- Mauser Model 1910 New Model (1910/14) .25 ACP pistol
The New Model (1910/14) variant is identified by its right-side "Mauser-6,35" marking and the Mauser banner on the sideplate. This iteration also reflects Mauser's update that removed the earlier Side-Latch takedown, streamlining disassembly compared to the first 1910 pattern.
Built on a fixed-barrel, simple blowback system and striker-fired action, this compact pistol emphasizes mechanical simplicity and rigidity. The 3.15 in carbon-steel barrel is integral to the frame, and the slide features vertical rear serrations, a top ejection port, and a cocking indicator.
Controls are period-correct, including a heel-type magazine release and a lanyard ring at the butt. Sights are fixed, with a small blade front and an integral open-notch rear, complementing its micro-size profile for discreet carry of the era.
The pistol wears a blued finish over carbon-steel construction, with smooth wood grip panels. Commercial German Crown/U definitive proofs and ancillary assembly numbers on small parts are present, consistent with German commercial production from roughly 1921–1928.
