Hello Guys,
Nice late 1986 Mauser Parabellum.
You have to know that togheter with the last Mauser Commemorative(Artillery Model), Mauser produced several pistol assembling spare parts in stock. The result is a set of interesting pistols that do not follow the normal configuration. I have one of this "out configuration" pistol in my collection and it is visible in my web site.
The serial number is the commercial one 10.xxxxxx for the .30 luger and 11.xxxxxx for the 9mm.
As far as the proof marks it concerns, they are the normal Ulhm proof mark used by Mauser with both commemorative and standard model in Europe. The two characters IG are the date (a=0 b=1...) therefore IG means 1986.
This pistol has been configured to be sold in Europe therefore it is dated and proofed in accordance to the European rules.

In the end, it is a really nice pistol that for sure will increase the value in the future.

Hereafter a scan of rhe Deutches Waffen Journal with a couple of last production Mauser Parabellum where you can see a cut away model made using a pistol in the same configuration.

Have fun.
Cheers,
Mauro
