I bought the 1914 Mauser .32 back in normal times. I just found the 1910/14 Mauser .25 at a local store. It was on consignment from a customer, at a decent price. I offered $65 less than the asking price, the salesman called the owner, and he agreed to the price. I load for .25 ACP so I have everything I need. I fired off some reloads and factory ammo in the .25 and it's flawless. I don't think it was used much (too much recoil?) The .32 had been fired alot.
I went to another store today and there, on a basically empty shelf, were two boxes of .25 ACP at $10 per box.
Apparently Mauser intermixed the serial numbers for the .32 and .25 - these numbers aren't too far apart.

Congrats on the find. I like vintage guns too.

I always wanted one in 7.65 back in the days when they were commonly seen, but the stars never lined up. That pair is nice. I'll bet the 6.35 is a hoot!

Nice gun, but watch out for your tennis elbow, that there .25 is savage! I bet it shoots very well too.

Buyers don't seem to want the oddball guns and calibers. I recently bought a Star Super in 9mm Largo, then the .25, and last year I got a Dreyse .32, all at low prices. Odd guns, odd calibers.
