This is an excellent condition, Mauser, Broomhandle, C/96, 7.63 mm Semi Automatic Pistol. Large numbers of the C/96 in both 9mm and 7.63 mm calibre were purchased during WW1 by the Imperial German Army and many survived to serve Reichsmarine and Weimar period Police Units.

Governments of many countries including China ordered consignments of these pistols for their military. This Chinese Government contract example has a small ring hammer and Universal safety protruding from the rear left side of the frame which indicates that was produced post 1930 (see page 59 of Guns of The Reich by Markham).
