Magazine for Mauser Model 712 (Schnellfeuer 1932)

[Globetrotter]

Many years ago I sold 4 of the above to customers in town.
Modified by Mauser Werke and imported by me through Frankonia)

Now 2 of these collectors would love to have a 20-shot detachable magazine,
generic or authentic, and pinned for 10 shots.

I tried everywhere on the net, but no avail.
Anyone has an idea where to get some?

They were good customers, they deserve a break.
Thank you for any hint.

Very rare. I heard the SS loved those pistols though, something nice about select-fire pistols. Marstar is your best bet though, I think they where one of the major importers.

My rather useless yet nonetheless nostalgic contribution to this thread...

Schnellfeuer anyone?

Thank you Scarecrow !
I will try Marstar, but have little hope, as they did import many from China.
Mostly standard models and a bunch of BOLOS too, probably obtained via
Russia.

I imported 8 of them from Germany ,where Mauser themselves converted them
to semi-auto only (Frankonia statement) Those 8 and many more never left Germany and were found "accidentally" by authorities.
Mauser left all the parts , but ground the disconnector on the top right side
of the lockwork right off.
The select fire mode also was changed internally and even though it works , it is now a second trigger block . Fiendishly clever.
I bought 2 Bolos from Century Intl. many years ago and the barrels were very poor,
therefore I made a new longer barrel in .30 Mauser (7.62x25) and imitated
a Mauser "short carbine" to my own taste .
I made grips to my liking and added my "lengthened " shoulder stock.
As a refresher, I add another picture herewith, as I showed it once before
somewhere on Canadian GunNutz.com. last year I think.
Nothing original, but I had a lot of fun with it.

MUH-MUH Mauser !
Your nostalgic contribution is not useless, but welcome.
Thank you for the picture !
I witnessed the firing of this model in automatic mode
in an underground shooting range In Cologne ,Germany, (near the Cathedral)
fired by police officer for a test report.
At 1200 rpm and with shoulderstock attached he hit the target
4 times and before he was finished, shot the wire target retracting
cables overhead. In one second or so 20 bullets went down and "up" range.
On your picture it looks like the trooper had the foresight to use support on the pole. He knew better!
