Anyone here knowledgeable in these? There are a lot (8-10) for sale in tomorrow's Switzer auction. I've always wanted one but I'm not sure what to look for. 7.63? Chinese copy in 9mm? small ring hammer?? pre war?? post war??

The ones I saw available in the action were pretty rough looking for the most part. Don’t be surprised to see the bids go way up, that usually tends to happen with these collectible pistols towards the end (also don’t forget the brutal auction fees and shipping. Take that into consideration when making a bid.) If there are any in 9mm or with stock they will fetch the highest bid, earlier cone hammer is more desireable for some, but honestly I like all variants (of the original mauser manufacture that is). Watch out for matching numbers, refinished as well. You can reload 7.63 ammo from 7.62x25 brass.
