Attempt to restore of a 1914 German Mauser pistol we have found while magnet fishing in South of France (not in a battlefield).
Judging by its condition, it has been in the water for decades, probably since WW1 or WW2.
The gun was much too damaged to be restored properly but we decided to preserve it by removing the rust and protecting the metal for a display.
It is a quite common gun which has no financial value. Judging by its condition we decided not to contact the police.
This video is only a restoration of an historical object and in no way about the apology of weapons.

Fishes old gun out of river, restores it beautifully, immediately arrested by police after being found in possession of murder weapon from an unsolved homicide from 1962.
I have a murder weapons collection 😜
But fortunately, exept for war crimes (which is possible by considering this may be a German SS Gun) , in France there are prescription laws for crimes after 30 years
Right on
@ Ngl if this is a murder weapon you probably would have a pretty good defensive of "Not even born yet" lmaooo great video!
I was just thinking this
Private sellers in the US right now be like: *Barely used, perfect condition Mauser for $2500*
Guaranteed no misses shooting 20m at the range 🤣🤣🤣
You can actually get them for about 800 bucks lol
In France a perfect condition Mauser 1914 is 300 dollars
I lost hope in humanity once I saw Glocks selling for $1500 here in Commiefornia 😂
@@atang1706 capitalism drives the market, and as long as you cucks buy for those prices they will try and sell it higher.
Well, the truth in the end did not look so good ... but I don't think you can ask more of something that at first seemed more like a stone than a weapon haha. very good video, quite entertaining
Exactly thanks for the comment !
But can it shoot fire or still dead pistol.
wow
wow
Il n'a rien restauré
It's honestly pretty amazing to see these ancient objects and imagine: that steel was mined by someone, molded by someone, the gun was put together by someone, sold by someone, owned by someone, maybe killed someone and ultimately lost by someone.
Then "destroyed by someone."
Someone a hundred years ago
What you said always makes me melancholy. Maybe it's just a human foible to subconsciously anthropomorphise an inanimate object, but whenever I see an old or discarded object, I start thinking of the memories that might be attached to it, the people it might've gone through.
@@tiffles3890 I wouldn't say melancholy or anthropomorphization.
I think you have a vivid imagination filled with archeological curiosity. And that's pretty cool.
And now has been found and restored by someone for all of us to see
They said it couldn't be done...
They said it could not be restored...
And I really have to commend them on their spot on prediction.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🎭🎭🎭
lmao... that a few minutes of my life ill never get back...
Putting an almost mint condition grip on that barely alive gun is pretty comical 😂 Great work!
😂
It isnt alive at all lmao
@@Insanearc yeah, I didn’t get the “barely” alive either. She’s long gone

Personally, I would have tried a chelation solution before using electrolysis for an item in that condition (not just vinegar, something like Evaporust, Metal Rescue, MC-51, etc). Electrolysis is a very destructive process for something with so much scale built up on it...you lost a lot of base metal that may have otherwise been saved. Still, very solid effort for an old historical piece.
You're probably right to preserve more of it, I wanted it to look smooth anyway.
All that rust came from the base metal, not the minerals in the water. In reality, that was too far gone to restore to original dimensions.
@@ohger1 you very well may be right. I just would have tried a more gentle approach first before busting out the big guns, because electrolysis will start to eat away the good metal once the rust is removed. Either way, I agree there was no way to completely save it. Just my two cents.
Never mind the drills.
My understanding of electrolytic rust removal is that brown rust (hydrous Fe2O3) becomes black iron oxide (Fe3O4) and the black iron oxide can even become steel, as the oxygen ions move from the work to the sacrifical electrode, which does get extremely pitted. This is backed up by my practical experience: when I have left work in the tank for a period of days after the rust all seems to have been removed, the parts come out very shiny, and are in no way pitted or degraded by being left in too long. Could you explain why you say base metal can be lost, and that electrolysis is destructive?
Unfortunately, French rivers are not as good at preserving firearms in arguable working condition as Russian bogs are.
Still, you did an amazing job at it, congrats!
Exact ! We want to try on it one day ! Thanks for the comment
Ponds work too. The amount of panzerfausts and kar98’s I’ve seen fished out of ponds are ridiculous
Unfortunately thats a French girl mauser sound 3:58
@ Just go to places where there aren't many stones in the water. I found a WWII pistol slide covered in mud in the Netherlands, and it was as new. The stuff I found in Germany/Czech was in identical condition as your find tho.
How is magnet fishing in France, do the Gendarmes make any problem out of it? : )
It was never gonna be back to what it was, but I'm proud of you for rescuing it anyway. It's definitely a great wall hanger and conversation piece!
Yes! Thank you!
Не стоит даже заморачиваться!Но молодец,справился по своему!👍
Well done. The pistol has no monetary value, and no potential value, (except as the basis for a monetized UA-cam vid). So cleaning it up and sharing the story with a few hundred thousand viewers is a perfect use. Big thumbs up.
Exactly ! Thank you sir, it's also very nice for my display
Definitely monetary value as a cool thing
@@nejm612
Not really. Working Mauser 1914 are dirt cheap.
Here in Germany they are even sold for less than 100 bucks.
The Design was outmatched by the PP/PPK.
Even now there aren't that many people interested in owning one.
It uses a round that noone uses anymore, the design is uninteresting and outmatched and it's historical worth is rather slim.
It's just one of many civilian pistols from a century ago.
Doesn't mean that it isn't kool, it just isn't worth anything.
@@bobuscesar2534 okay
@@JohnZombi88
Maybe I should get a dealers license after all and ship weapons across the Atlantic for reasonable prices.
The Honey Badger for example cost 5000€ in Germany. That's a fucking rip off.
Sir, your work is not yet done, but what you have managed to do so far is still quite incredible.
This is honestly as far as you can go with a weapon in that condition
nice
@@eternalmiasma5586 Not exactly, the vinegar electro solution was quite possibly the worst method for removing the scale here, and the wire brush completely destroyed the rest. Could have looked much better.
People tend to think that if there's too much rust on the piece the metal must have completely rusted away, but the rust's volume is much, much higher than the metal volume and even here there was still quite a bit of good metal left that may have been damaged by the wrong solution.
@@leslymartinez2780 damn, a good looking girl that’s into Mausers. Hell yeah
@@alanwatts8239 it doesn’t matter which approach he took. The gun is useless anyway. There’s nothing he possibly could’ve done to save this gun.
I dont get why people dont like It, you have done an impressive work considering the state It was in
Thanks you much you are right. Some People absolutly want the gun looking like a new one at the end...
@ i think some restoration channels are fake. I hope yours isnt.
@ or maybe they want a test fire you know. Since restoring something that doesn't function is more like a cleaning than a restoration
Now everybody like it :)
@ good videos, but a restoration is bringing it back to factory condition. This is an improvement, not a restoration
That version of the outro song is nice. I love it.
The story that old Mauser could tell would've been something for the centuries.
Sometimes you just have to wonder "how did that get here?"
Resitance
World War 1 or 2 would be my guess
probably not... just alot of fish tales, I imagine decades in a lake makes for a fairly non-engaging plot. XD
This is the English comment you've been looking for hehehe
Haaa finally !
This is the English reply
who cares 🤦🏻♂️
Deutsche antwort huhahaha
Salut, génial ! En partant d'un tel état je ne vois pas comment faire mieux, chapeau pour cette préservation qui permet de faire revivre cet Objet historique
Oui c est un tres ancien... donc un acier DE FER ET DE CARBONE... il veut retourner à son etat de minerzi !!! Rien a voir avec ceux d apres les annees 30/35. . Qui.. qui sans etre en inox contiennent des elements genre Manganese...molybdene ... qui les passivent et forment un bouclier contre les piqures profondes !!! Ainsi sur une chaine ricaine ..on voit des guns limites intacts apres nettoyage.......
Love the Wehrmact march for 3 seconds when you revealed the Mauser label 🤣
The old ones do gold .. I like to watch .. Slow change beautiful change .. Smooth sound of weapon .. Easy movement .. Attractive
Finally, another legitimate restoration video
Une arme historique qui ressortit dès fin fond de l’eau retrouve une place dans ton étagère ta petite collection augmente un beau boulot malgré qu’il était sacrément corrodé. Bravo à toi bise
Merci beaucoup, on aurait aimé faire mieux et l'ouvrir, mais il était bien trop corrodé, on a fait au mieux !
@ je crois qu’il n’y avait pas grand chose à faire de plus malheureusement bravo à vous
All the dislikes are people who expected it to look like it just rolled off the assembly line
Thats usually what restoration means. Removing rust and sticking a new grip on is not a restoration.
@@h78dimma60 It looked like a hunk of rock when they brought it up. Just from the first glance I could tell it was well beyond saving, even this is a miracle. The wooden grip was long gone.
What dislikes
They're from people who expected a restoration, not a polished turd
@@h78dimma60 It says "Impossible restoration" in the title doesn't it?
I loved it before the restoration. That patina! Would have looked beautiful in acrylic case. Thank you for the video.
I agree! He shoul' have left it as he found it. Maybe a little cleaning...
he blued it to prevent it from re-oxidizing, if he'd of left it how it was it would have turned all rusty af again..
My satisfaction is immeasurable, and my day is blessed. Thank you, so, so much.
Thank you sir !
That star of the county down part was beautiful.
Even with decay, you still managed to find a gun in that mess.

Longtemps que j'avais pas ecouter se chant militaire allemand !
Super video ! :)
Merci beaucoup et oui un bon chant militaire !
@ Dis moi pourrais tu faire une video tuto restauration?
Avec quel outils, liquide (etc...) tu utilise pour restaurer. Je trouve ça très enrichissant et fascinant.
Merci par avance
On va essayer à l'avenir de montrer davantage les outils et produits utilisés pour les restaus, je vais ajouter aussi en description les produits 😉
@ Super ! Si un jour vous tombez sur un karabiner 98K.
Dedicasse le pour moi lol
I’m so glad you restored such a master piece of a gun
When you said "impossible restoration" I was excited to see how you were going to pull the rabbit from the hat, but - no - your initial assessment was correct.
Never throw your murder weapons in the lake, some dude might fish it out and make a video of himself cleaning it
Toujours aussi satisfaisant l’électrolyse 😍
great job buddy looks like new 👍😀
Thank you comrade restorer!
I am glad you did not go too far on the rust removal, the poor gun has suffered enough!
I agree, it was felling apart ...
A Virtude da Paciência, Parabéns pelo belo trabalho!
C'est incroyable de trouver ça sous l'eau et surtout de pouvoir le conserver C'est une très belle pièce !
Merci beaucoup très belle pièce de vitrine
That cleaned up much better than I thought it would actually. When is the firing test? :D
We need à very low powder charge for this one 😅
If he shoots tht shit he wont live to post the video🤣
Vu l'état c'est du très beau boulot, bravo au moins il reste que du métal sain.
3:58 That sound when you put the barrel pin back into the gun was perfect 😁👌
Haha thank you 😁
Beautiful. That Mauser gonna live good now.
Very cool object
Thanks it's beautiful as a display !
Excellent boulot, belle trouvaille, merci pour le partage
Un magnifique objet dans votre admirable collec ;)
Merci beaucoup !
If some people put much effort restoring useless things, let's restore the Earth that isn't useless, cheers! ✌️
We are also restoring the earth by clearing the riversw check at our channel 😀
@ 😮👍✌️☺️
That gun should go to a museum or something, after all it has a history, admirable.
На помойку он должен отправится. Учитывая его состояние
Im sure that meseums have already guns like this that are in perfect condition theres no point into having this.
It was an amazing process, what makes me wonder is that many unnamed liquids were applied to the gun. What were they for and what did they do. Too many unknowns to be impressed at this point.
No, he named them. And most are rust eaters, then finish.
Wow! That handle doesn’t look like it was in water for decades at all!
It was only for days when it came from China 🤣
This video is fake bro.
@@CadillacDriver k so after watching someone restore a whole pistol without editing, you still think it’s fake? Get real lmao
@@solarsaturnyt2703 without editing? It took him all of 8 minutes to restore this weapon? Get real, bro.

Merci beaucoup Lilian, on aurait aimé l'ouvrir et aller plus loin, mais il était vraiment trop fragile pour ça !
What a process! Amazing job.
Thank you !

side note that gun was amazing 🤩

I would’ve been so pissed if DALLYMD found this instead and took this to the police and losing this historical replica and typing in his title “(MURDER GUN FOUND!)”
He is totally capable of it ! 🤣 We did it one time but for a recent sawed-off shotgun.
@ I just hate that guy he takes cool weapons and gives them away to someone who only uses it for cold cases.
To all the dislikes:
The title _does say_ "impossible restoration."
Shame it'll never be in firing condition, but hey it's quite the job you did for sure. At least It's recognizable now.
Yes and it will not deteriorate anymore, the remaining metal is healthy. Thank you very much to the next one
Just go buy one.
I like the honesty in the restoration
Thanks sir, i tried
Wow! Amazing job done! Love it 🤍
Makes me wish I hadn't thrown away the old rusty revolver frame I found underneath my front path when I tore up the concrete.
U forgot to show its firing
I don't want to loose a hand 🤔
@ don’t worry they grow back
Très belle restauration bon boulot toute mes félicitations
Merci beaucoup !
Не перестаю восхищаться Мастером!👍
большое спасибо, мой друг
Those things are really really cool. One of the early self-loading pistols from the World war era very collectible
First thing I think when I see this video is “where do these fellas buy these”.
Now I know: you buy them from Old Greg.
I didn't know Old Greg 🤣 Yes we are stealling his weapons

For the love of God stop grinding on that priceless artifact!
Wow, il a passé un petit bout de temps dans l'eau, comme ont dit au Québec : Y'est magané en tabarnak 😃. Belle job .
Merci mon ami et salut aux québécois
Every time he pulls it out of a bucket there’s less gun…
Надо теперь узнать, не было ли совершенно в этом городе 100 лет назад убийство с приминением такого же оружия
Было бы здорово, если бы он вернулся.
этот уже разлагаться начал конкретно. было бы ему лет 70 можно было бы оживить.
That music sounds like Connie Dover. She does sing a song about the Blitz, but this gun is from a somewhat earlier war! Amazing that you got that gun-shaped lump of rust into a sort of display condition. There seemed to be more rust than Mauser at first.
Cc les frérots et Rasta ! Au début de la vidéo je me suis dis oh ! Là ! Là ! Il a pris cher et au final je me dis encore un superbe restauration. Beau travail 😍
Amitiés et papouilles à Rasta 😘😘😘
I love how you guys spend hours restoring trash that holds no significance to anyone
At first, it looked like a stone fish! Now, it looks like a fish...stoned to death!
Kidding aside, impossible was in fact, possible! Great job!

How does a gun end up in a river?
It's probably killed someone
Theres a really good chance it was used in a crime
@@ChingerBurger yeah there's very few good reasons why it would be there
The same way a whole bike ends up in the river.
@@Amtcboy na, totally different.
Estaba exageradamente deteriorada por el tiempo, aún así muy buen trabajo , felicidades .
It is technically an iron fossil. Great restoration.
Оружие легендарное. Естественно, состояние находки плачевно.
Я считаю, что не надо было ставить новую рукоять. Это не совсем исторично. Портит именно это оружие
Первая рукоять рассыпалась, ты ее никак не отреставрируешь
С одной стороны ты прав.
А с другой-без рукояти вообще не на что похож. Так хоть форму пистолета определяет.
Like for Part 2. Totally Restored ❤
Great Job!
There's a new restoration on my channel as well! We were working on it for half a year!
Appreciate if you watch it!

Wtf, did you see the state of the gun ? Check the channel
@ y'all fake the videos
@@Supernimo735 We restore weapons, which are all 100% from our own discoveries. 99% of our time and 90% of our UA-cam content is dedicated to finding these underwater treasures and we are facing unfair competition from fake videos. In addition to misleading the viewers, they show wrong restoration techniques that do not really correspond to the way to save such an altered weapon. As our rust is real, some viewers are surprised that the objects don't become all new like their rust colored painted stuff ;)
@ exactly. Other channels fake their videos, which they paint the objects into rust color. I guess I can rely on you, since you say your videos aren't fake, I'll give yall a try.
It seemed that this gun is impossible to save, but it was at least partially restored, congratulations 👌.
Yeah it was too damaged sadly, thank you
Thank you 😀.
