Wartime Commercial
This variant is distinguished by the first appearance of the New Safety. It superceded the Prewar Commercial, perhaps as early as 1912. The war didn’t start until August 1914, but this variant is called the Wartime Commercial nonetheless. It is identical to the Prewar Commercial (the later variety with six rifling grooves), except for a few changes -New Safety
“NS” monogram added to back of hammer
Hammer milling changed for New Safety
Solid safety lever knob (no hole)
50-1000 meter tangent sight, without “900” meter mark. Most Prewar Commercials have sights with the “900” mark
The Wartime Commercial can be easily distinguished from the Prewar Commercial by the hammer, which is marked on the back with an intertwined NS monogram, and the safety lever knob. The only internal change is to the hammer. The number of grooves in the grip panels continues to vary.
The authors of System Mauser note serial 290090 as the lowest number Wartime Commercial they’d seen. However, my database has one with a much lower number – presenting serial 232232, a Wartime Commercial in all respects (New Safety, 30-groove grips, tangent sight without a “900” mark, etc).
