Mauser Jubileum documents

Hello guys,
I am happy to show you this couple of interesting documents. Both are documents made by Mauser for the Jubileum. On the right the book printed out in 1938 for the 125 years of the Mauser. It is a really useful document to understand the Mauser history. On the left, and this is the new discover, the Mauser document made in 1987 for the 175 years of Mauser. This document, like a news paper, contains around 20 pages with the history of the Mauser up to 1987. It is really interesting because covers a period (after WWII) usually not really explained in others books.

I will show all the pages in my web site in order to give the opportunity to read the entire document. I will let you know when.

For the moment enjoy the following few photos.

Cheers,
Mauro

Hello again guys,
Hereafter a few photos of another interesting Mauser document dated 1962 in really new condition with the original shipping envelope from the company.
In fact in Oberndorf was not only located the Fire Arms Division but also the Measuring-Tools one. In that period Mauser was a really big company able to cover several mechanicals fields.
What is interesting in the history of the Parabellum is that when Mauser realized that it was not possible to use the tools bought from the Berna waffenfabrik, it decided that all the parts of the guns were made by Mauser or by companies controlled by Mauser.

It was an impressive demonstration of competence. Building Ã¢??completely at homeÃ¢?Â a complicated pistol like the Luger following the strict DIN German modern standard with an eye to the final cost that MUST be not expensive was a real challenge.

Therefore all the tools, gauges and other stuff used for building the Parabellum were mainly made by Mauser itself.

Cheers,
Mauro
