Mauser M712 "Schnellfeuer" Selective Fire Broomhandle Pistol, Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable Machine Gun with Stock

Introduced due to competitive pressure from Astra's Spanish-made Broomhandle pistols, especially in the lucrative Chinese market, the 1932 Schnellfeuer took everything people loved about the Broomhandle and cranked it to 11. The result was a compact machine pistol, which could be reconfigured to a carbine as needed, feed from 10 and 20 round detachable box magazines (without sacrificing clip loading), and could either tap out single rounds semi-automatically or let rip at 900+ RPM on full auto. Needless to say, the target audience (China) went for it wholeheartedly, and sales only terminated when Japan joined the Axis Powers, making export to any of the Chinese factions (who essentially fought the Second Sino-Japanese War and the Chinese Civil War simultaneously) unacceptable. Schnellfeuers are also known to have been used on both sides of the Spanish Civil War, as well as being used as a secondary Wehrmacht sidearm as well as by the Waffen-SS. The mechanism is controlled by a spring loaded selector switch on the left side of the frame, with "N" (semi-automatic) and "R" (full automatic) marked positions. Blade front and tangent rear sights, with the three-line Mauser address markings on top of the chamber and right side of the frame, with a "crown/crown/U" proof on the chamber and twelve groove grips. Included with the lot is a hardwood shoulder stock with matching numbered mounting iron and a brown leather harness.

ConditionVery fine, with 95% of the professionally restored high polish blue, showing a few areas of covered pitting (heavier underneath the grips), edge wear and light handling marks. The grips are excellent, with mild dings and scratches. The stock is good as repaired and remarked, with filled-in cracks, and the harness shows mild scuffing. Mechanically excellent. NOTE: This weapon is a National Firearms Act (NFA), fully transferable Class 3, which is registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, (BATFE) that is classified as a "Curios or Relic" as defined in 27 CFR, 478.11. These weapons are still subject to the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 479.
