Unusually Marked Mauser HSc on Gunbroker

[Mauser HSc]

Anyone familiar with the markings on this pistol currently up for auction? There are no acceptance markings on the left side whatsoever. I've asked the seller for a better description of the "eagle" but he hasn't provided any yet. The marking on the right trigger guard appears to be a standard Heerswaffenamt but I can't make out the others. Is this a faked up commercial wartime variant? Any opinions on this one?

Those are post 1940 commercial proofs.

The eagle/N proofs on the right side are factory firing proofs found on all Hsc pistols produced under the Third Reich. The absence of any military proof or acceptance at the rear of the left side trigger guard indicates that the pistol was sold in the commercial market. The exception to this are the early Navy (Kriegsmarine) pistols which had a relatively large Eagle/M pantographed on the front gripstrap above the serial number.
Often, military personnel bought such commercial pistols as personal sidearms and many were captured in the field and brought back by GI's as war souvenirs.

I got a better description of the proofs from the seller which follows:

"There are no letters or swazticas (sic) or numbers under the Nazi Spreadwing Eagle at any location."

I was thinking Eagle/N proofs also but I'm not sure just what these are. The serial number 914xx puts it in wartime range though. Maybe refinishing took off the Ns?

The commercial proofs (firing test proofs) on the right side of the pistol should consist only of an eagle/N, without any numbers or swastikas. Perhaps you're thinking of a "waffenamt", or acceptance stamp such as an Eagle over 135, that would have been applied by the Army inspection team at the factory. These were stamped at the rear of the trigger guard on the left side. The pistol being offered is a commercial variety.

Hochadler is correct. There is nothing unusual about the pistol. It is a wartime commercial variation and in that condition it is worth, at the most, $300.
