evrenay · 04-09-2013, 08:30 PM

First the photos, story might come later.

This pistol is supposed to be one of fifty (1/50).

I thinks grips are not original (unfortunately).

Mauser stamp on the toggle:

Barrel from below and inside:

Ateş (fire) inscription on the extractor:

Side plate (phosphated):

Magazine:

How about full left and right pics. Somewhat hard to tell overall condition without these.

Hi Evren, Fantastic find, congratulations! By all means post more photos.
Regards, Norm

I certianly would like to learn more. From the photos, it looks lime it has a semi flat finish of some kind.

Unfortunately I didn't take the photos, otherwise they would be more detailed.

However, I know where this pistol is kept and I will give the owner a visit as soon as I drive to west coast (of Turkey).

Then, I will make him an offer that he can not refuse

Evren..^That's the best looking bore I have ever seen! The pistol looks parkerized like Doug says..Cant be the original finish but either way it's worth going after.

Only thing more rare will be the Turkish holster for this!
