Here is a Mauser Red 9 Broomhandle that was part of the only Contract made during WWII for Broomhandles. I have had many hard core collectors tell me they are aware of this contract but have never seen one.

WW2 Luftwaffe contract
The German government purchased 7,800 commercial M30 pistols in 1940 for use by the Luftwaffe. They have Wehrmacht proof marks and the Mauser serial numbers come from the early- to mid-1930s. The weapon had ceased production in 1937 but the order was filled from remaining stocks.

Sweet, I'll take it

I'd like to see a few more pictures of it.

that is a beauty

Cool piece of rare history.

And a liberator thrown in just 'cause.

Let me know when the museum is open, I'd like to stop by.  I'll try not to drool on anything.  

Very interesting and neat piece of history. And I like that you’re holding it with a pair of boxers in one photo that’s funny

interesting.  I had heard that the Germans used the Model 30, but didn't know the whole story.

Really cool!! Love the C96.
