The German Army began HSc procurement with an initial order for 3,000 pistols in early 1941, beginning with serial number 701,345, and, intermittently, ending about 712,000. At approximately serial number 701345 the grip screws were relocated upward to a more central and sturdier position. Comparable condition original finish grips. All these early low grip pistols are today very rare. Development began in 1934, and was ready for mass production in 1938. This exact pistol was mentioned by serial number in AXIS PISTOLS by Jan Still on page 176Įarly high polish HSc with Kriegsmarine Eagle/M on frontstrap and Eagle/N commercial proof on right trigger guard web, documented in AXIS PISTOLSĪpproximately 96% original high polish blue with sharp edge wear and minor handling marks on the front and backstrap. The HSc was Mauser’s attempt to compete with the highly successful Walther PP design. These gaps may be from stopping production of the 6.35 mm (.25 cal) model during the war because of greater demand for the 7.65 mm (.32 cal) model.
