Sauer model 1913 magazine 7.65 serial#

However, with the outbreak of the war, most pistols went to various German police agencies. It was necessary to compete with companies such as Mauser and Walther in the commercial market. Sauer developed the model 38H from their earlier semi-automatic handguns. The 'H' in the model number is short for 'hahn', referring to the internal hammer of the firing mechanism. Sauer & Sohn, then based in Suhl, Germany. The Sauer 38H or often just H was a small semi-automatic pistol made in Nazi Germany from 1938 until just after the end of World War II by J. 380 ACP (9mm Kurz)ДЇixed iron sights, front-blade, rear-notch One other interesting difference in this pistol is that one must push the heel magazine catch forward to release the magazine instead of the usual manner.People's Movement for the Liberation of Azawad ДЁ3В mm (3.3В in) (SP 2340, SP 2009, SP 2022) Once the slide is locked to the rear, pulling the trigger releases the slide.

Sauer model 1913 magazine 7.65 serial#

The BehГ¶rdenmodell has numbering in the same spots, but uses the last three digits of the actual serial number. The last three digits of that number are on the bottom of the muzzle end of the slide, the inside of the muzzle cap, and the bolt body. Look at the top of the tang and you will see the number '2559'. This Modell 1913 also seems to have an internal assembly number, in addition to the serial number. Depress the rear sight (after locking the slide to the rear) and the cap can be rotated off counter-clockwise. Both the Modell 1913 and the BehГ¶rdenmodell have rear sights which double as catches for the slide cap. To disassemble it you lock the slide to the rear by pulling it to the rear and depressing a catch in front of the trigger (the BehГ¶rdenmodell uses the safety as a slide catch). It disassembles similarly to the BehГ¶rdenmodell. It also looks like it is '1920' marked on the left of the slide above the serial number. It appears to be a variant 3 due to the configuration of the safety. This one was also from a local shop, although about 50 miles from where I found the BehГ¶rdenmodell I posted above. Obviously it has a conventional switch-type safety also.ДЄnother Sauer in 7.65mm. Whether it was intended to allow it to be carried cocked and locked I cannot say.

One more interesting note on this pistol: it has a trigger safety, similar to a Glock and other various modern semi-auto pistols. Note the style/font of the 'S' marking the safe setting. The safety on this pistol doubles as a slide hold-open device. That is good, as it would have taken me a while to find one. I don't know why this would be, but it was. I read some posts about the pistol on various forums and found one where someone who knows the model pretty well said that sometimes the collar I was missing gets turned around and is actually inside the pistol but at the muzzle end.

I looked all over the internet for the part and couldn't find it anywhere. Short answer is that it was supposed to have a collar at the base of the recoil spring which prevents the recoil spring from being exposed when the slide is closed. I knew this was probably wrong and went on a quest to discover why. It also had its recoil spring exposed over the back of the barrel with the slide closed (through the ejection port). I was impressed with that seller (Dariusz P.) as I received the magazine from Poland in eight days and it is perfect for the pistol. I found an original magazine on GunBroker for it from one of the Polish sellers. When I bought it, it had either the wrong magazine or had a magazine which had been modified to the point where it wasn't recognizable as original. I didn't know exactly what it was when I found it, but knew it was Sauer and had to be from between the wars. Basically, a police pistol, but almost certainly it would have come to the US as a bringback.
