Hi folks,
Now I am really confused. The topic title is Hungarian Model 37, which is also called the Femaru. This is a single action pistol, with a somewhat odd dome shaped slide (as seen from the front) and two slide stop notches.
The safety is in the same position as on the Colt M1911A1. The hammmer has a small and low thumbpiece. The normal magazine has a finger extension. The gun takes down by pulling the slide to the first stop notch, at which point the barrel can be turned and removed. It has nothing in common with any Mauser product, although it is possible that Mauser may have owned one as a sample.
There is a picture of the Model 37 and some more information in the 1999 Standard Catalog of Forearms under "Femaru".
If this is not the gun in question, then we go back to the drawing board.
Gun Parts Corp. (914-679-2417) lists the Femaru but says barrels may not always be available. I suggest you call if the gun is the Model 37.
