"Hey team – I have a Mauser Model 1914. Serial number is 187,654. Left slide says 'Mauser-Werke A.-G.' Proof mark is a Crown over 'N'. No military acceptance stamps. Anyone know the year? Thanks!"
Mauser records for that era were either lost or destroyed during WWII. Instead, serial number "lookup" relies on . mauser 1914 serial number lookup
"Based on the serial range and Crown/N proof, you are looking at 1924–1925. The 'Mauser-Werke' marking confirms it is post-WWI commercial production. Great shooter!" Note to user: If you provide me with the specific serial number and all visible markings (including proof stamps), I can give you a precise date and history estimate based on published collector tables.
