It was first made in 1896 - that's why it was called C96!!! It was used in WW I and Bolsheviks in the Russian revolution, and both sides in the Boer War. By the time the Nazis came to power, it was mostly just a status symbol among officers.
Always the nazis... it is a german gun produed pre WWII and even though it has been used in WWII it should not be referred to as a nazi gun. In fact Winston churchill carried such a gun in the boer war.
it was the imperial germans...and even then, they were pretty much used by officers and cavalry during the first world war. the "nazis" wouldve used the p38 or the pp/ppk, and the sidearm to the wehrmacht and ss was the luger p08
Lots of comments guys. It's not full auto. Originally it was a 7.63x25mm. Converted to 9mm Luger or Parabellum. They are fairly easy to find at gun shows. Expect to pay between$1500-$4000 depending on condition, model and whether it includes the wood holster and leather strapping. The model here in the case would probably sell in the area of $2500-3000. Market pending of course.
Armas no tienen nada que ver con política y si con tecnología, generalmente representan el mayor avance y refinamiento de su época. Es mi respetuosa opinión.
This marking is from the first world war to avoid that the wrong ammunition was loaded. The original C96 was chambered in calibre 7,63mm Mauser. Those C96 with the marking on the grips were called "rote Neun" (red nine) and were chambered for the so called "Patrone 08" (9mmx19) that was introduced with the Luger 08-Pistol.
And Winston Churchill got one C96 too, and Nazis not only used german guns, Göring btw. got a S&W Military&Police cal. .38.
you forgot to mention that once you put the pistol into the wooden case, it doubles as a blunt weapon. just throw that at someone's head and it is 100% effective in knocking their brains out.
If they only ended production in 1936, then yes...it was a gun in the nazi arsenal just as the lugers were...dont forget the nazis came to full power in 1933 when hitler was made prime minister. and infact the nazis carried these in the failed beer hall putch a full ten years before that!
@GunWebsites forget it,the guys who like it most were bolsheviks during great oktober socialist revolution and after that russian civil war.so we r talking about 1917...1924.now you know
They were commonly nicknamed "kuhfusspistolen" (cow foot pistol) because of the shape of the grip. Oddly enough, they were never as popular in Germany as they were in Russia, and for that reason, they were chambered in 7.63 x 25. They are very light for their size and well balanced when loaded with a clip (the correct term in this case) of ten rounds. They were not as complicated as their contemporary, the Luger, but could jam pretty well in dirty conditions.
@thn0r true to an extent, but the nazi's took power in 33, so for a few years, this was a nazi produced weapon, it was used during the war, but mostly by 2nd liners, guards, police etc, it isnt as well known as the luger or walther, but it was used. Still a very nice gun, and an odd gun in design.
@GunWebsites I would not say plenty - these guns were in times of WW2 obsolete. They were issued only if P38 and P08 were in short supply. But during the WW1 this gun with shoulder stock setup was very popular among trench raiding parties. The original calibre was 7,63x25 Mauser (7,62x25 Tokarev is direct development, but much much stronger)... The "big red nine" was on the grip to prevent accidents with ammo, because during WW1 both 7,62 and 9mm were used by german soldiers...
@GunWebsites thats not true standart sidearm for every german was a P38/or a Luger...the c36 was outdated and replaced before ww2....sry for bad english....
@GunWebsites yes ive sen some wiht hte swastika on them. while most were preww2. hte nazis were in power prior to 1936. the design of these. allowed one to hold it. and hte angle of the handle positioned it perfectly.
The C96 9mm mauser is all WW1, while there were some in ww2 (mostly artillery and AA soldiers) but those were primarlity 7.63 x 25. 99% of those did not have any "nazi" markings. Ive delt in these guns for a long time. Ive only seen 1 cataloged "nazi" broomhandle.
@thn0r ... Yep, cuz the Nazis didn't run Germany untill 1939... Hitler wasn't elected in 1933 or anything. Since guns fall to pieces in just one year, no Nazi ever used one that was just laying arround...
@VALsacount2 The National Socialist German Workers' Party (German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (help·info), abbreviated NSDAP), commonly known in English as the Nazi Party, was a political party in Germany between 1920 and 1945. Its predecessor, the German Workers' Party (DAP), existed from 1919 to 1920. The term Nazi is German and stems from Nationalsozialist[5], due to the pronunciation of Latin -tion- as -tsion- in German (rather than -shon- as it is in English),
@VALsacount2 ww2 started in 1939 officially. after the nazi party had already moved into and occupied several countries. poland was the straw that broke the camels back. ive got some original photographs taken by my great grandfather in the mid 1930's. was 1936 IIRC. when he took those shots. no he wasnt a nazi. just a german citizen.
@controversyking I'l agree with you but just because something is used doesn't mean that the tool is also bad. a good example would be the Mauser saw-back bayonets used in the first world war. many Brits thought it was used to cut arms and legs off when it was a tool for the German engineer corp to cut away at brush
Captured and rechambered guns were branded with the Red9. Also, the gun predates the Nazi party, but they did use them. Unfair to deem it a "Nazi" gun becasue it was not developed under the Furher.
@thn0r There were still Nazis using this through out the whole war, right threw and up to 1945, even though the P-08 Luger and the Walther P-38 were being introduced. They were mostly considered antiques, even during the war. It "was" a Nazi weapon and I don't think there is anything wrong with that since a lot of bad people used muskets back in the seventeenth and eighteenth century's, and people still used it.
I want to say that many people do call a mag a clip. It was the common term for a 'mag" in WWII and the "mag" for my M14 was called a "clip" from Marine boot on.It can get confusing with stripper clips to think about but we still have stripper clips now to load "mags".I would say that MuzzyBasher is either over 40 or was perhaps trained in military of some country other than the U.S.It is all :who taught you & how old you are.BOTH ARE CORRECT.
for Patriot1232- Sorry, I ment to say 6r & 20r.I am old & it is early in am.If you look at my atav. you will see my custom 20rd Bolo.I make them by cutting out mag box from bad gun and welding and finishing onto another.No 20rd bolos were made by Mauser (that I have ever seen or heard of) and I think my 20rd conversion looks better than the 20rd C96 from the factory.
didn't the chinese have a varient of these? could've sworn they were the ones with a red "9" carved into 'em. ney mind- wonder what are the sights like?
@thn0r You should know that the Nazi Party came into power with the election of Adolf Hitler in 1933. The Nazi took over all the manufacturing firms, including Arms Manufacturing in Germany. So before production halted, the Nazis manufactured C96s for a few years. Nazi Officers; SS, and Gestapo could purchase their own handguns and a few chose the Mauser C96 and its other variants.
It's a fact that some German soldiers In WWII would buy these as a private purchase weapon and actively use them, so technically, The Nazis DID use them.
@GunWebsites The Ruger MKII pistols and the 10/22 bolt is pretty fast and we've had good luck with filming those. I'd love to film a Luger or this Broomhandle Mauser. I'd probably have more luck finding someone with a Luger though, but I haven't been able to find anyone with one yet. That's actually one of the "top things to film" of my list.
@taofledermaus the nazis didn't like the Luger's constant clean (like the m16 or Beretta m9) they used them because they weren't "high maintenance" read more history, Yankee
@patriot1232 In truth, they were first made in 9mm Mauser which was a 9X25mm streight sided case.They were then made in the &.63X25, which also allowed them to fire the7.62X25 which was easillably available in many areas of military conflict.To clear up the number of rounds, it was 10 for all fixed mag models with ecption of a few 6r & 10r special order models.Even the Chinese Senshi 45cal held 10r.
I think that Indian Jones has been shot at with one of these too...so famous. I love history. I also love sausage. Thanks Germans for giving us so much.
Not to be rude or anything but even thought the Nazis did use the Mauser C96 Red 9 variant it was actually first used by Imperial Germany during WW1. From what I know they made these 9mm variants do to the fact that the production of the Luger P08 was going quite slowly. The Mauser C96 was originally chambered in 7.63×25mm Mauser otherwise know as .30 Mauser and for its time it was one of the highest velocity commercially manufactured pistol cartridge around.
Back in the day sights were ranged for ridiculous distances, like on the SKS they had a 1000m settings or what the heck. They couldn't shoot that far, of course.
@GunWebsites sorry sir. i didnt think i would step on any toes by relating this weapon to another murderer. i thought this was all for fun and education. cool little facts and the like. thats why i watch, and enjoy your videos. i get what i want to know and THEN SOME. once again im sorry.
The C96 isn't just a Nazi Germany gun. It was pretty popular among Russian and Chinese revolutionaries as well as being used on both sides of the Boer Wars. Winston Churchill carried one when he was an officer in the Mahdist and Boer Wars.
This gun is the Mauser C96 1st made in 1896 and used in both WW1 and 2. It was originally chambered in 7.62x25mm Mauser, 9x19mm Para, & 9mm Mauser export which is the rarest version. The Chines later modified them to also accept .45 ACP. Its a short recoil operated pistol with a range of about 150-200 m. it can accept 6 or 10 round stripper clips. It has a V-notch rear tangent sight adjustable up to 1000 meters & inverted V front sight. There are 4 models, C96, Bolo short barrel, Red 9, & M.712.
@Phenixtri Would be great if you guys could get your hands on a working ""Mauser 712"" machine pistol which was developed from this. it was 9x19mm Para and was fully automatic. It was used primarily in WW2 by the Germans and Chines who made their own full auto versions from regular C96 models. It also used 20 and 40 round detachable magazines. Also I forgot to mention that there was an experimental version of the C96 chambered in 8.15mm Mauser. :P
These where also manufactured under license in China. In addition to the the Kaiser's army in WWI and the Nazi's, a young Winston Churchill used one in the second Boer war, Bubba Zanetti in Mad Max and of course Han Solo in the original star wars trilogy. Wish I owned a piece of history like that one.
Awesome pistol!! I've always liked the looks of the "Broomhandle Mauser" I have bought two German made Mausers in the past. Unfortunately neither of them worked properly, and I failed to find a gunsmith that could fix them. Both of them were chambered in 30 Mauser. That one appears to be in great shape. Thanks for sharing
i have a book "This was a recoil-operated pistol. it was fitted with a ten round magazine positioned in front of the trigger guard.The bolt itself was rectangular, the top rear part of the receiver was squared off to house it. there is an external hammerto strick the firing pin about a million were made between 1896 - 1936" original specs: cal- 7.63, capacity - 10, act-Recoil/single, length-11.62 in, barrel-5.51, dry weight 36.9oz (all records of mauser plant destroyed in 1945) hope this helped
In it's time, this gun was like an H&K this days, everyone wanted one, specially Russians. And those who had one were feared. Really nice gun, I don't thinks it's lame to shoot but I think it's a really interesting peace of history. It was originally a 7.63x25mm Mauser. That explains the 500 max range ;)
It was first made in 1896 - that's why it was called C96!!! It was used in WW I and Bolsheviks in the Russian revolution, and both sides in the Boer War. By the time the Nazis came to power, it was mostly just a status symbol among officers.

I'd probably have more luck finding someone with a Luger though, but I haven't been able to find anyone with one yet. That's actually one of the "top things to film" of my list.

@taofledermaus the nazis didn't like the Luger's constant clean (like the m16 or Beretta m9) they used them because they weren't "high maintenance" read more history, Yankee

They were first made to use the 7.63x25 mauser then converted to the 9mm.
patriot1232 8 months ago
@patriot1232 In truth, they were first made in 9mm Mauser which was a 9X25mm streight sided case.They were then made in the &.63X25, which also allowed them to fire the7.62X25 which was easillably available in many areas of military conflict.To clear up the number of rounds, it was 10 for all fixed mag models with ecption of a few 6r & 10r special order models.Even the Chinese Senshi 45cal held 10r.

Not to be rude or anything but even thought the Nazis did use the Mauser C96 Red 9 variant it was actually first used by Imperial Germany during WW1. From what I know they made these 9mm variants do to the fact that the production of the Luger P08 was going quite slowly. The Mauser C96 was originally chambered in 7.63×25mm Mauser otherwise know as .30 Mauser and for its time it was one of the highest velocity commercially manufactured pistol cartridge around.

Also, they were originally chambered for 7.63x25mm, which is similar to 7.62 Tokarev.

The C96 isn't just a Nazi Germany gun. It was pretty popular among Russian and Chinese revolutionaries as well as being used on both sides of the Boer Wars. Winston Churchill carried one when he was an officer in the Mahdist and Boer Wars.

GunWebsites 8 months ago
This gun is the Mauser C96 1st made in 1896 and used in both WW1 and 2. It was originally chambered in 7.62x25mm Mauser, 9x19mm Para, & 9mm Mauser export which is the rarest version. The Chines later modified them to also accept .45 ACP. Its a short recoil operated pistol with a range of about 150-200 m. it can accept 6 or 10 round stripper clips. It has a V-notch rear tangent sight adjustable up to 1000 meters & inverted V front sight. There are 4 models, C96, Bolo short barrel, Red 9, & M.712.
Phenixtri 8 months ago
@Phenixtri Would be great if you guys could get your hands on a working ""Mauser 712"" machine pistol which was developed from this. it was 9x19mm Para and was fully automatic. It was used primarily in WW2 by the Germans and Chines who made their own full auto versions from regular C96 models. It also used 20 and 40 round detachable magazines. Also I forgot to mention that there was an experimental version of the C96 chambered in 8.15mm Mauser. :P

These where also manufactured under license in China. In addition to the the Kaiser's army in WWI and the Nazi's, a young Winston Churchill used one in the second Boer war, Bubba Zanetti in Mad Max and of course Han Solo in the original star wars trilogy. Wish I owned a piece of history like that one.

Awesome pistol!! I've always liked the looks of the "Broomhandle Mauser" I have bought two German made Mausers in the past. Unfortunately neither of them worked properly, and I failed to find a gunsmith that could fix them. Both of them were chambered in 30 Mauser. That one appears to be in great shape. Thanks for sharing

In it's time, this gun was like an H&K this days, everyone wanted one, specially Russians. And those who had one were feared. Really nice gun, I don't thinks it's lame to shoot but I think it's a really interesting peace of history. It was originally a 7.63x25mm Mauser. That explains the 500 max range ;)
