Hello fellows,
Being Italian please let me clarify a point related to the Renato Gamba Mauser Parabellum. Renato Gamba in the near 1970 produced under Mauser license the HSC model in Italy. Due to his "particular relationshipâ? with Mauser, he asked for a customization of the 06/73 Mauser Parabellum knows in Italy as Renato Gamba contract. These Mauser Parabellum are marked on the chamber with RG and on the right site â??Serie Speciale Renato Gambaâ?. The serial number is RG xxxx â?? 1001.
Unfortunately the Renato Gambaâ??s firm had a serious problem and was not able to buy the entire production (1000 pistols).
Therefore Mauser decided to sell these pistols in other markets, mainly USA.

Today in Italy there are few Renato Gamba models as well as the usual production with 10.xxxxxx and 11.xxxxxx as well as in other countries in Europe. This numbering is NOT a special feature for the USA Interarms model.

The numbering 10.xxxxxx and 11.xxxxxx was used by Mauser for all commercial models excluded the Commemorative Models and the Renato Gamba contract.

Unspellable please can you post some pics of your interesting prototype?
Thank you in advance.

Mauro
