CONDITION: Exceptionally fine with 90% plus arsenal
refurbished blue finish, some edge wear, a few dings on
the edges of the triggerguard and breech block, and minor
handling marks overall. The safety and extractor hinge
plate both show strong niter blue, the latter concentrated
around the screw with a straw toned patina on the
remainder. Grips are very fine with some dings and varnish
loss. Mechanically excellent. Though an intriguing and
rugged design, the 1877 was very short lived. They are
very difficult to acquire and are key pieces
for collectors of Mauser handguns.
Provenance: The Harry Kaspar
Collection; Private Collection.
Estimate: 20,000 - 35,000
