In response to competition from Walther and others, in 1934 Mauser spruced up its aging 1910/14 and 1914 pistols with a new high-polish finish and form-fitting swept back grips. Nickel finish was offered, but is very rare (50 percent premium, but beware of re-nickeled blued guns). The 7.65mm pistols became popular with both military and police, but those so marked can bring a considerable premium.
