"Background
Between 1934 and 1945, Krieghoff produced
approximately 13,850 Model â??08â? pistols in their
factory in Suhl, Germany. A small percentage of
these pistols, approximately 1650, were manufactured
as a civilian version of the Parabellum. This
rarer Parabellum contained additional features and
details omitted on the military version. Krieghoff
continues production of this very sought after
collectorâ??s item with the introduction of the 2006
Limited Edition.
