Mauser Eagle...
 
...Gold washed? Ivory grips? SN 11.014263 Any info on this model would be appreciated.

we'd be glad to give you more information.... Besides the sn, what does gold washed, ivory grips mean to you? It means nothing to me..... ;)

Does yours have these enhancements? Do you mean the strawing is golden color or?

I have a .jpg photo but it would not post. The gun is VERY golden in color, bright & shiny, it has ivory grips with the American eagle engraved on them (out stretched wings, arrows, olive branch, you know the drill), marked Mauser on the toggle & Interarms on the side, blue box, test target, 2 mags & tools. How do you post pics here? I tried to attach the file but it apparently didn't take....?

Hello,
Your pistol could probably be a customized Mauser Parabellum. You have to know that was possible to ask Mauser to customize the Mauser Parabellum in accordance to your requirements.
To evaluate if your pistol is in original configuration or refurbished more pics should be appreciated.

Cheers,
Mauro

If you tell me exactly what you would like to see, I'll take them and post them...

Edward Tinker 07-22-2007 05:08 PM

I'd like to see picture from the top, each side, and any inscriptions. I can't decide if I like it, don't like it or love it :D

I love that all the do-dads are with it :) *I think I like it*

Ok, it will take a bit to get the pics, but the inscriptions are:
TOP- 9mm Luger on the barrel, small Mauser banner with FBM inside, the eagle, just like the one on the grips over the chamber and Original in script over the Mauser banner on the toggle.
Right side - the SN, a Interarms logo (starburst) and Interarms, Alexandria Virginia on the slide, the SN on the frame and the eagle on the grip.
Left side - on the frame just above the take down lever a small Mauser banner with the letters FBM inside, the eagle on the grip. GESICHERT (German for Safe) under the safety lever.
On the back of the frame - Made in Germany
On the front strap - Mauser-Werke A.G. Oberndorf a.N. (Mauser Factory, Oberndorf, Germany is my guess?)
Photos to follow...
The gun isn't too sure about you either, but seems to be leaning in your favor...

Once your pistol gets to know Ed better, it'll really like him, as all guns do. ;)

The gold cast doesn't really come through too well on my pewter. Most of the gun looks sort of stainless or "in the white." I like the grips a lot more than I thought I would from the description alone.

My personal feeling is that the pistol is not in his original configuration.
Most probably this pistol was originally blued with ivory grips an after has been gold washed and the grips modified with the American Eagle.
Cheers,
Mauro
