Like the P.08 or the Mauser repeaters, the C 96 was internationally popular right from the start, but was also carried by the German military. This "Sights Special" will highlight the special historical significance of this pistol type, known for its broomstick-like grip with the magazine well in front of the trigger, as well as the contemporary history surrounding it. It also contains information on famous C 96 owners and on the special role this weapon has always played in film. In addition to these elements, the focus is naturally also on collecting and technology, to which two articles are devoted in detail. The practical part is covered by explanations on shooting and reloading the cartridge originally developed for this purpose. Separate articles deal with copies and modifications of the Mauser C 96. An appendix with further information and addresses rounds off this volume.
