Synopsis

At a time when most handguns were limited to six rounds, the ten-shot Mauser caught the attention of the world for its unprecedented firepower and formidable high-velocity 7.63×25mm cartridge. This saw its ultimate expression in the first-ever select-fire handgun--the "Schnellfeuer" machine pistol, fed by a detachable magazine and offering both full-automatic and single-shot modes. The C 96 was the first semi-automatic pistol to see combat, arming both sides in the Second Anglo-Boer War, and seeing service with the German, Russian, Chinese, and other militaries. Widely purchased commercially, it was carried by none other than Winston Churchill in the Sudan and South Africa, became prized by the Irish Republican Army and Soviet revolutionaries, and even armed Han Solo in the Star Wars movies. Featuring full-color artwork and an array of revealing photographs, this is the engrossing story of the C 96 "Broomhandle" Mauser, the ground-breaking semi-automatic pistol that armed a generation of military personnel, adventurers, and revolutionaries at the beginning of the 20th century., The Mauser "Broomhandle" semi-automatic pistol armed soldiers, law-enforcement personnel, adventurers, revolutionaries, and others in the years before, during and after World War I. From South Africa to China, this iconic handgun saw combat in a host of conflicts and achieved a prominence in popular culture that has made it a favorite among firearms collectors and enthusiasts., At a time when most handguns were limited to six rounds, the ten-shot Mauser caught the attention of the world for its unprecedented firepower and formidable high-velocity 7.63 25mm cartridge.

Great book
If you own a Mouser C96 or just want to find the history of the gun, this is what you want to get. Even if you are just interested in firearms history in general this would make a fine addition to your library.

THE BROOMHANDLE MAUSER BY FERGUSON
More of a history book that a collectors reference book. Even that it only covered a little of the history.
