I do not own one but at some point I will pick one up.
Original early production C96 are also pretty pricey.The C96 was very popular in China during the first half of the 20th century they made their own copies.There was also a version produced in Germany and sold to several different factions including the both the White Russians and the Bolsheviks.That model became associated with the Bolsheviks for what ever reason and it has since been known as the "Bolo".It was in fact well liked by all of its users do to it shorter barrel making it very handy for room clearing and CQC.

Those are nice pistols too...but I'm more of a P08/P38 guy if we talk about German WW2-and-before-era pistols.
Wouldn't mind having one.
