I have not been able to find the exact model of gun that I own, so I need an appraisal on the following if possible.
I have in my possession a German Mauser handgun of unknown date, in great condition with leather holster, 2 empty marked Mauser gun clips, military certificate of passage, and additional identification documents.
Description as follows:
Pistol Mauser 7.65
Ser. No. 167013
Wooden handle
Pin remaining in trigger
Gun marked
015 above trigger
Waffenfabrik Mauser A.-G. Oberndorf A.N. Mauser's Patent on barrel in single line.
other side, Mauser 7,65 with serial number.
Identification documents
Signed military release on Dec 20, 1945 - European Theatre, in good condition, excellent legibility.
Pictures can be sent on request.
Thank you so much for your time

It is probably one of the more common of the German Pistols brought back as souvenirs by G I's after W W II.
They were made in great quanity by Mauser over a period of 25 years, production stopped just prior to W W II. Over 500,00 were produced during this time frame.
Depending on condition and originality, value as you describe would be in the $300 to $500 range.
It's not possible to be any more specific, with out a hands on appraisal.
Dug up a picture from the net. This pistol is very similar to yours, EXCEPT it's a earlier model in .25 caliber. Cosmetically they appear the same.

You make No Mention of Swastikas or Eagles or Inspetors Marks...Please Post a Photo so that I/We can ascertain its True Identity.......
