Production began in late 1940 at serial number 700,000, as an extension of the serial number range of the Mauser Model 1934 pistol, a much more difficult pistol to manufacture. The early pistols have well-made wooden grips, and are highly polished and richly blued. Serial numbers ranged from 1 to 10,000. Mauser started over at serial number 1 each time the number 10,000 was reached. After the first 10,000 pistols were completed, the firm added a suffix letter to ensure that each pistol had a unique serial number. The suffix letter increased each time the plant started at serial number 1 again. In any case, that gun is referred to as the Post-War (WWI) Commercial 1910, and is the most common of the.25 caliber Mauser pocket pistols. Serial numbers of the original production started at 1 and went to c. First Variation serial numbers 701,348-715,680 (3,000 produced) complete 'rig' with 1941 holster - 702302 First Variation - sub variation large e/655 - 702805 Second Variation serial numbers 713,182-740,884 (5,000 produced) - 740043 Third Variation serial numbers 745,338-781,415. Production began in late 1940 at serial number 700,000, as an extension of the serial number range of the Mauser Model 1934 pistol, a much more difficult pistol to manufacture. The early pistols have well-made wooden grips, and are highly polished and richly blued.

WWII GERMAN MAUSER PISTOL MODEL HSC -
The Mauser HSc is a 7.65mm pistol made in Nazi Germany during World War II and post-war. The designation HSc stood for Hahn Selbstspanner ('self-cocking hammer') Pistole, third and final design 'C'. Production was continued in 1945–46 during the French occupation and, later, from 1968 to 1977 by Mauser. It features a semi-exposed hammer, double-action trigger, single-column magazine, and a spring surrounding the barrel.

The full serial number of each pistol is located on the front of the grip frame, just above the magazine. The last three digits of that serial number are located on the bottom of the chamber (stamped) and the flat panel of the slide just under the muzzle (electropenciled).
Production began in late 1940 at serial number 700,000, as an extension of the serial number range of the Mauser Model 1934 pistol, a much more difficult pistol to manufacture. The early pistols have well-made wooden grips, and are highly polished and richly blued. The first 1350 pistols were made for the commercial market and, because of the low positioning of the grip screws, have become known as the 'Low Grip Screw' variety. Approximately half of this initial production was purchased by the German Navy (Kriegsmarine). All these early low grip pistols are today very rare. At approximately serial number 701345 the grip screws were relocated upward to a more central and sturdier position.

The holster is made of brown leather. It has a separate pouch which holds a single magazine. A leather flap is placed on the lower section and hooks to a metal stud found on the flap. This secures the pistol in place when holstered.
The inside of the flap has the words 'Mauser 7.65' stamped with black ink.
