This one really calls to me! The voices in my head are getting hoarse telling me to hit a couple CDs & grab it... but it's 4 large outside my pay grade. Six shots are not common at all.

Still... if I ever hit the lottery, I'll collect these. SW

Is this a spanish made piece? I don't see the typical mauser banner or millings on it.

Real deal Mouser. It's early enough a lot of the standard marks seen later aren't there.

I do believe I'll be sending the upper of my Bolo in to be linered. SW

I once had a chance to pick up a German Broomhandle at a pawn shop for $750. I kick myself in the arse many times for not jumping on it.

Are those lugs at the rear mid-frame what I think they are? Wood holster/butt stock?

Very cool piece. Sposed to be a replica broomie out in .177 steel b.b. this spring, but I ain't holdin my breath. Been announced 2 or 3 times over the past few years with no production ever getting off the ground...

The lugs are to grasp & remove the internal parts. The insides just slide out after the release point is lifted.

I'll post pics in another forum when I get around to taking mine apart to send off the upper to be linered. SW

Flat side with a large ring hammer. is that a Egyptian one?
Mine are all german except 1 1925 9mm chinese c96.
That is a nice 1.I have a set of those grips here somewhere.

It's a very early Mauser model for sale in Europe. I like your assortment! SW

Thanks ,, I just found that on g/b wow what a asking price on that 1.

I like the smaller magazine and the big ring hammer.I have tried to win a hammer like that several times but they go for big bucks too.

This is my way cool one. A Dan Wesson 15-2V in .357 Magnum. I can change to 2.5, 4, 6, and 8" barrels. I am looking for the optional 3 barrel /shroud assemblies, 10, 12, 1nd 15". But they are not really readily available.

I always wanted a DW 375 Super mag. Now they are priced out of reach. SW

I have a DW 357 super mag. Since I have the same caliber in my Encore I don't shoot it much now.

DW made the ne plus ultra of 357 calibers = the 360 DW. Even longer than the super mag.

It might have had problems gas cutting the pistol frame - haven't heard much about it for a long time. SW

I never heard of the 360 DW. Will have to google to see if there is any info on it.

Rad

Pretty cool but overpriced given the condition. Looks like it was a competition gun for silhouette shooting = it has been fed a steady diet of mastadon whackers.

Still, these are way stouter than a Smith. I shot a Smith model 29 loose in one summer of competition while my brudder's DW hung right it there with the rankest hot loads we could stuff in the cylinder.

In retrospect, I believe a standard 44 mag with 300+ grain bullets loaded to make the gun last is actually the way to go. SW

I wouldn't even think about pricing mine anyway near that. When I was selling my Ruger Max's had one guy ask if the DW was for sale. I more that doubled my money on the Rugers.

nice mauser - always been above my pay grade , so i avoid temptation and i just look ,

had one of those DW 357mag a freiend has it now
