Hello,
I just picked up a little Mauser WTPI pistol from Legacy Collectibles. I think it is a later variant of this gun and wanted to show some differences in it with some of my other pistols. I checked the serial number on the gun with several gun websites and found a prior owner of this little pistol. After making contact, I learned that this little pistol had come from an estate sale where the prior owner had it for many years. He told me the vet that had returned from the war, took it from a business in Germany. No documentation or anything, just a story.
It’s in really nice shape. Almost zero wear on it. I didn’t know the Mauser WTPI and Mauser WTPII had such a size difference between the two. It appears Mauser redesigned the magazine as well to make the WTPII smaller, along with the rest of the design changes.
I included another earlier produced WTPI mag to show some differences.
I haven’t gotten rid of the white stuff in the letters. I just left everything alone.
