pistols produced from 1910 to 1913 (inclusive) appears to have been from 1 to 61,000. As time went on it appeared in several slightly differing forms, but essentially it remained the same. pistol became known as the Model 1914 in popular nomenclature. The Model 1910 (but unofficial) designation seems to have remained as popular nomenclature for the early 6.35 mm. pistol had been made in 1912 andġ913, but the final form which was issued commercially was quite different in external characteristics from the experimental forms. This appeared late in that year or possibly early in 1915. pistol was forthcoming, in which all of the latest features of the 6.35 mm. Early in 1914 it was announced that a 7.65 mm. Late in 1913 a new version of the 1910 type was announced, differing in a few details. To expose the limb work the slide is first removed and the side plate, which is rabbeted at each end, is simply lifted up at the rear end and removed. In these later pistols the trigger pin is staked to the opposite (right) side of the receiver. In the later issues of the 1910 Type pistol a simpler and less expensive scheme was used. The rear end of this plate is rabbeted into the receiver. The device combines a trigger pin and on this pin is a latch which unlocks the front end of the side plate over the limb work. vestpocket (W.T.P.) pistols and then only after the introduction of the second model.Įarly issues of the 1910 Type are characterized by the presence of a lever on the left side of the receiver just above the trigger, the purpose of which is two-fold. Model designations for the early smaller pistols were made only in the case of the 6.35 mm. 1910, although at the time no model designation was assigned to it by the manufacturer.
Modell 1909, and this was put on the market later in 1910 or early in 1911. pocket pistol which, except for size, minor machining, and assembly differences, was a copy of the 9 mm. Successful functioning depended on the use of a special Parabellum cartridge with a lighter powder charge and lighter bullet, which was specially designed by Mauser for this weapon (Figs. This Modell 1909 is not to be confused with the later Modell 1912 and the Modell 1912/14, as it did not have the delaying or retarding devices which appeared on the Modellġ912. Although an instruction book was issued, indicating that the pistol was expected to meet with approval, there was little demand for them and very few were made. Parabellum caliber, and this resulted in a pistol designated as Modell 1909. Mauser's first attempt was to produce a military pistol in 9 mm.
Work on a fixed-barrel type of arms was first done on rifles in 1907, but in 1908 interest had shifted to experimental work on a hand gun of this type. The line gets a bit blurry in the complete explanation but pistol designs in general move from simple less powerful to more complicated, sturdy more powerful designs as markets for them are developed.The first Mauser patents on blowback type pistols date from 1907, and many patents were taken out from 1907 to 1915. As with many/most companies the earlier products are smaller in design, and cost and lead to later, larger, more powerful pistols. The Model 1913/1919/1930 models are designs meant for police and other official use. The WTM is a striker-fired pocket pistol for personal self-defense. The Modell 38H is a hammer-fired pistol intended for military and police use. To answer your questions as to the difference between the Modell 38H, and the WTM are mostly size and intended use. I mention the book because it is the best work done so far on Sauer pistols and if you are going to collect them (or do any research) this is the information gold mine to own.
