You got 4?? Dang, I got cheated.
PJ Hardtack:
Spain produced a couple of M96 Broomhandle clones - Beistegui and Astra. They made 33,000 and 35,000 guns respectively.
They were successful designs and much simpler than the Mauser, with a removeable sideplate to facilitate cleaning.
Drydock:
Just picked up one of these, kind of a deal I could not walk away from. A banner Mauser, most of it in the 620,000 range, though not one number on it match's. (thus I could afford it) But it shoots! Shiny bore with sharp edged rifling. 7.63 caliber. Though a mixmaster, a very old one, as the patina is consistent. Short barrel and grip. Came with a repro stock/holster and tool, with repro leather.

My Dear Drydock -
have you located any (affordable) ammunition for it?
My Dad "gave back" the one we got hm for his birthday about 35 years ago... I don't think it's been fired in that time...
