Chinese C96 "Wauser" Broomhandle
This video examines a Chinese-produced copy of the C96 Mauser, often referred to as a "Wauser" broomhandle. The description highlights that these Chinese variants from the 1920s and 30s ranged widely in quality. This particular example is mechanically fair, but notable for its misspelled markings, a common characteristic resulting from workers attempting to replicate German or English text without full comprehension. The video also links to related content on Chinese mystery pistols and other broomhandle variants, providing historical and comparative context.
