They started with a very unusual car, called Einspurauto ( single lane car ).
It was a three seater with two passengers behind the driver and two small retractable wheels at the side for starting and stopping ( what a crazy idea ). This car had no emblem. From 1927 to 1929 the WINKLER Company of Oberndorf produced the single trace car in licence. Now there was an emblem:

| Year | 1927 - 1929 |
| Estimate |  |
 |
| MAUSER Einspurauto ( licence WINKLER ) seen in the museum ZÜNDMAGNET / Wurzen / Germany |

In 1923 MAUSER brought out a conventional 4 - wheeled car with 4 brakes and a 4-cylinder engine but it was sold in small numbers only.

In four years there were two slightly different emblems. Instead of the target circle here you see the ironsight of a pistol ( made by Mauser ):
