The '''Mauser C96''' (commonly called the "Broomhandle" or "Broomhandle Mauser" due to its distinctive grip, was a German semi-automatic pistol manufactured from 1896 to circa 1937. There was a Chinese version produced from 1929 thru 1936, at the arsenal at Shansei, that was called the 'box cannon', because it was substantially larger (over 2 pounds heavier) than 7.62mm or 9mm C96 Mausers, and it was chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge. The C96 Mauser was one of the first semi-automatic pistols to see widespread use and was copied in Spain and China, along with the wood holster that could also be used as a stock.

'''There are several major variants, though continual product improvement at the Mauser factory led to dozens or hundreds of individual variations arising over four decades of manufacture.'''

* The original '''C.96 Military Model''' had full-sized long grips, a fixed ten-shot magazine, a 5.5-inch [140mm] barrel, adjustable tangent iron sights calibrated to 1000 meters, and was chambered in 7.63x25mm Mauser. It was made from 1896-1921. Collectors call this model a "Pre-War Commercial".
* The '''C99 Regia Marina''' was dimensionally identical to the standard Military Model, but had a side without fuller relief and had generically a more economic finish. It was built expecially by request of the Royal Navy of Italy; only 5000 of these were made. Chambered in 7,63x25mm
* The small-framed '''M1896 Compact Model''' (made from 1896-1899) had full-sized long grips, a short 4.75-inch [120mm] barrel, and a 6-shot fixed magazine. Collectors call them "Pre-War Bolos".
* The rare '''M1912 Export Model''' was designed for the South American market and was chambered in 9x25mm Mauser Export.
* The '''M1916 ''"Red 9"'' ''' was a 9x19mm model produced to fill a contract for the Prussian army during the First World War. As it was externally identical to the concurrently produced 7.63mm version, its caliber was burned on each side of the grip and prominently marked in red or black paint.
* The '''M1920 "Rework" Models''' were Weimar Republic government and military issue Pre-War Mausers modified to meet the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles (1919). They had cut-down 3.9-inch [99mm] barrels and reworked and simplified fixed sights. Pistols chambered in non-standard chamberings like 9x19mm Parabellum were converted to chamber standard 7.63x25mm Mauser rounds. Converted models were stamped "M1920" to show they were compliant; this practice continued on government-issue weapons even after the ban was no longer in effect.
* The '''M1921 "Bolo"''' model had small grips, a 10-round magazine, and a short 3.9-inch [99mm] barrel. It was first produced as a variant model for domestic sales from 1920 to 1921, going into full production from 1921 to 1930.The name "Bolo" is short for Bolshevik. Reportedly the Russian Communists or Bolsheviks favored the Broomhandle and in particular the Model 1921. The model was also popular with Poles, Lithuanians, German Freikorps, and White Russians. Among collectors the Bolo model is one of the most popular.
* The simplified '''M1930 Model''' had a 5.2-inch [132mm] (1930) or 5.5-inch [140mm] (later) long barrel, a solid one-piece grip frame and large wooden grips, and a lack of decorative milling on the frame and hammer. Collectors call this model the "M30". It was also erroneously called the "M711" by military surplus dealers to distinguish it from the similar selective-fire and magazine-fed M712.
* The '''''"Schnellfeuer"''''' was introduced in the early 1930s in response to the select-fire C96 copies produced in Spain in the late 1920s. It used ten- or twenty-round detachable magazines and a select-fire mechanism designed by Joseph Nickl (1930-1932), later improved by Karl Westinger (1932-1936), the most commonly seen. The ''Schnellfeuer'' is popularly known as the "M712", its Wehrmacht designation during World War 2.

'''Many foreign copies were also manufactured :'''
* The Astra 900 was a Spanish copy of the C96 produced by Unceta & Cia. It retained the overall shape and locking system of the C96, but used a trigger mechanism of original design.
* The Astra 903 was Unceta's equivalent of the M1932 Schnellfeuer, though unlike Beistegui's later versions the 903 was not compatible with Schnellfeuer magazines.
* The Astra Model F was a version of the Astra 903 chambered in 9mm Largo.
* Beistegui Hermanos made copies of the Astra 900 line. Later production examples were, unlike the Astra line, compatible with Mauser-produced Schnellfeuer magazines.
* The Type 17 was a .45 ACP version produced in Shanxi, China under the orders of ruling warlord Yan Xishan in order to maintain ammunition compatibility with the [[Thompson_Submachine_Gun|Thompson M1921]] clones his Taiyuan factory already produced. C96 copies of varying quality were also produced by Chinese arsenals at Hanyang, Taku, and several other locations.
* The Hanyang C96 was another Chinese copy of the Mauser C96, produced by Hanyang Munitions Works from 1923 to the 1930's. Around 13,000 guns were manufactured.

Note the rear tangent sight; in something of a display of wishful thinking, the C96's sight is adjustable for ranges up to 1000 meters. Later examples had a sight adjustable to a still unrealistic 500 meters. C96 pistols with fixed rear sights are very rare.]]
