Mauser 1910 ? 1914 ?

[Pipestr]

Been trying to get more info on a gun I have.

Markings on left sode 65327 Waffenfabrik mauser A.-G. Oberndorfa.n. Mauser's Patent (all in single line, and all in caps). "mauser' Logo below.

NO markings on right side. 327 on barrel frongt anchor ( or whatever you call it).

Also, 65327 on back, and again on above the trigger. Corwn over U behind rear sight, and what I THINK is an 'A" in front of rear sight.

From what I have read - I THINK it is a 1914 (based on being .32 ACP), and is a very early model due to the 5 digit serial number.

2 questions, - can anyone tell me for sure the model, dating etc ? Also - how on EARTH do you field srtip this thing ??? Has a small square button on left side, that when pressed, brings trigger back part way. I am thinking that has to do with it, but not sure how ?

So far I can only seem to get the barrel off, and the wood grip LOL.

Thanks.

Yes, this is 1914 - all 1910's were in 6.35mm/.25ACP

for disassembly:
- insert empty magazine and pull the slide back until it locks.
- remove mag
- press a little retainer unser at the bottom of dust cover the muzzle, then rotate the pin gead below the muzzle
- pull out the barrel retainer pin (which you unscrewed in previous step) forward
- pull the barrel up from the frame
- hold the slide, then carefully insert the empty mag to release slide, and let it go forward slowly, then remove it forward from teh frame

I think it will be enough for the first time.

The Crown/letter stamp in front of the rear sight is an ordnance acceptance stamp, indicating military use. The Crown/U is a commercial nitro proof.
Nice example.

Here's one that was made in early 1918.
