Mauser
collectors
have
a
unique
opportunity
to
access
original
historical
documents
never
published
before.
You
will
discover
the
Paul’s
happiness
for
the
first
rifle
contract
and
his
disappointment
for
the
C96 contract…
Paul
Mauser
himself
was
aware
that
the
first
Turkish
contract
for
rifle
and
carbine
signed
on
the
12th
of
February
1887
changed
forever
the
history
of
the
Mauser Company.
For
Paul
Mauser
the
first
Turkish
contract
was
so
important
that
a
specific
celebration
was
done
for
the
25th
anniversary
of
the
contract
and
a
special
note
is
available
in
his
1912
diary
as
reported
at
page 155 of the book.
The
photo
above
shows
some
very
interesting
objects together with a Turkish C96 pistol.
The
booklet
in
the
centre,
written
in
German
and
old
Turkish,
has
been
offered
to
Paul
Mauser
for
his
70th
birthday
in
1908
by
Husny
Bey,
President
of
the
Imperial
Ottoman
Commission
in
Karlsruhe
and
very
good
friend
of
Paul.
Husny
Bey
is
the
Turkish
person
in
the
middle
of
the
photo
and
on
the
left,
Mr.
Doll,
Mr.
Schmid
–
Mauser
managers.
The
photo
shows
also
1893
rifles
and
it
has
been
taken
most
probably
when
an
“active”
contract
was
amended
to
incorporate the improved design.
The
complete
translation
of
the
booklet
is
available
at page 163 of the book.
The
medal
in
the
centre
is
a
rare
one
offered
to
Paul
Mauser,
Feederle
and
others
Mauser
representatives
by
the
Turkish
committee
in
Oberndorf
on
the
31st
of
August
1894
to
celebrate
the
18th
years
of
the
reign
of
the
Sultan
Abdul
Hamid
II.
For
this
celebration,
there
was
also
a
shooting
competition
in
Oberndorf.
The
entire
story
at page 153-165 of the book.

Archive Digitalization
The
Archive
digitalization
is
the
first
step
for
a
serious
analysis
of
the
Paul
Mauser
documents.
All
the
documents
are
sorted
by
year
and
then
by
type
(diary,
letters,
notes,
telegrams...).
For
each
year
a
folder
is
defined.
Inside
it,
several
folders
are
associated
for
each
type
of
document.
Each
folder
contains
the
scan/picture
of
the
document
with
the
related
translation.
After
this
classification,
the
analysis
and
interpretation
of
the
documents
start.
All
the
undated
document
are
stored
in
the
same
folder.
For
some
of
them
a
tentative
of
dating
could
be
done
based
on
the
content.
If
the
content
interpretation
is
accepted
then
the
document
is
moved
in
the related year folder.
