The Mauser C96 is a German self-loading pistol developed in 1895.
The pistol was developed by Mauser employees - the brothers Fidel, Friedrich and Josef Federle. Fidel Federle was in charge of the experimental workshop of the Mauser arms factory, and the new pistol was originally called the P-7.63 or Federle pistol.
