Mauser New Model
« on: April 01, 2016, 08:42:38 PM »
Located a Mauser HSc that I am not familiar.  It is a Model 84 in 8mm.  It looks like a post war model, but I am not sure. Anyone have one of these?   I appreciate your input.

Thanks,  Jim
Jim

Quoting "hochadler" (Peter Theodore) from 2009: "The "Mauser HSC Mod 84" is indeed a blank gun produced by Umarex, the German comglomerate that bought out Carl Walther Waffenfabrik GmbH some years ago. For those interested, here's a link for more detail (in German) ."

That is disappointing.   Not much of a firearm.  Thank you for the reply.

Interesting to note that during Peter's research there was some conjecture by others that no Model 84 was ever produced and that the photo shown above was a complete fabrication.  So your statement, Jim, of "not much of a firearm" could be very true since it might be just a "phantom firearm." :)

Alan,

There is one for sale in England for $200.   At least that is what the ad says.   Interesting.


Thank you as always.
