Don't know if this is a military handgun or not. Picked it up at a yard sale for twenty bucks. No magazine.

Right side of slide:

MAUSER - 7,65

Left side of slide:

203XXX WAFFENFABRIK MAUSER A-G OBERNDORF A.N
MAUSER'S PATENT

Right side of receiver:

(Mauser logo)

No other markings. Pistol has one-piece wooden grip. Pistol will not cock and fire, so I assume it has a magazine disconnect. Rifling is strong, bore is dark, but I see no pitting.
It's in good shape, so, unless it's made of inferior steel, it should be safe to fire. I believe 7.65 Mauser converts to US .32 ACP.
Can you tell me about this pistol and where I might get a magazine for it?

Thanks! Steve / 82Rigger

That's a Mauser 1910/34 Kal.

It's a Mauser Model 1914. Without the Eagle L proof (Military) or Large Eagle over M proof (navy) it's probably a commercial model.
In the condition you describe (Good) it would be worth around $350.00. Numrich Arms has magazines for this and yes, it has a magazine cut off so it cannot be fired without the magazine inserted.
