Denix 1024 Mauser C96

Reproduction of the pistol, made of metal with plastic imitation wood scales, with simulator mechanism for loading and firing.

Within the wide range of small arms, the C-96 has the honor of showing the nickname of "the classic", also known as "Broomhandle". It was a semiautomatic pistol produced in Germany from 1896 to 1937, created by the brilliant Peter Paul Mauser. This semiautomatic pistol, with more than a century of history, has an extremely functional and practical design that has led it to be recognized as one of the best weapons in the world.

The German army received more than 100,000 units, which it used during the First World War, in which short distance fighting in the trenches abounded. Communist Russia acquired large quantities of the C-96, a weapon that ended up receiving the nickname of "Bolo-Mauser", that is, the Mauser of the Bolsheviks. When the Second World War began in 1939, the C-96 was still active.

Although no country recognized it as a regulatory weapon, it was used in all the military events that emerged in the first half of the 20th century.
