"Mauserbacken" on the late 08

Hi John,

thanks for this information! I wonder, because the handle has no other marks (just the serial under the barrel, engraved by the VoPo I think). However, this weapon would be a nightmare for each "matching-numbers"-collector but for someone interested in (military)-history like me it is a fantastic piece of history. It was "on duty" by our emperor, the Third Reich, the GDR and now I have got it. I think this pistol has seen much more action than any "matching-numbers"-Third Reich Mauser manufaction ,eh

;-)

Best regards!
