Hi All,
A neighbor who's grandfather died recently dropped off a Mauser HsC in .32 ACP. The gun was his by wish of his grandfather and I was asked to clean it up. Apparently the Grandfather had Plexiglass grips added and actually jumped with this gun as his "hideout" in WWII. (82nd Abn)
Couple of questions - how does it come apart for cleaning? Approximate value? The neighbor is interested in selling it and he (and I - keep it quiet!) need a good idea of the price. The S/N is 934xxx and there are no Nazi or German proof marks that I can see. Finish is a bit rough, but clean. The gun also comes with two magazines and a flap holster. The holster is black leather and also has no markings.
TIA,
Giz
