Infos sur le type 17:
The Shansi.45 operates just like a standard C-96. A rising block engages in two cutouts at the bottom of the bolt. Like all C-96 pistols, the Shansi utilizes no screws in its construction, except to retain the stocks. Here the lockwork is partially exposed, revealing the detailed machining necessitated by this design. The weapon is inscribed type 17 on its left side, while the right side is marked "Nationalist Year Eighteen Made in Shansi." Both left and right side markings are written in ancient Chinese characters.
