Mauser was a German arms manufacturer of a line of bolt action rifles and pistols from the 1870s to 1995. Mauser designs were built for the German armed forces. Since the late 19th and early 20th centuries, military Mauser designs were also exported and licenced to a number of countries, as well as being a popular civilian firearm.
In India and South Asia, few people are aware that Mauser is actually a brand name. The first Western-made handguns introduced into India were made by the Mauser company, and the term has entered the lexicon to mean any heavy pistol.
This product is a digital model of the Mauser C96. It is a semi-automatic pistol that was originally produced from 1896 to 1937. The distinctive characteristics of the C96 are the integral box magazine in front of the trigger, the long barrel, the wooden shoulder stock which can double as a holster or carrying case and a grip shaped like the handle of a broom. The grip earned the gun the nickname Broomhandle in the English-speaking world because of its round wooden handle.
