A wartime German Mauser HSc in .32 ACP, serial 877500, dated to about 1943, with a 3.25-inch barrel. The bore is bright with strong rifling. The finish has thinned to a grey patina and the right side shows wear with oxidation. The grips are worn and have lost some wood. The action functions correctly, and the pistol is offered on consignment.

This is a collector's HSc for a Delaware buyer who wants an honest wartime example with its wear on show rather than refinished away, and the bore grade means it is still a shooter at the range. Delaware treats the dealer transfer as a handgun sale: the buyer must be 21 or older and must already hold the qualified purchaser permit or a current Delaware carry license. Every dealer sale includes photo identification, Form 4473 and a background check, and the permit itself runs two years from issue.
