Mauro,

Thank you for the information. I don't have a digital camera, but tried to get some photos today with a brother-in-law, so might have photos later if they were okay. Photos were taken in a hurry in a car so they might not be good.

On the left side the pistol is marked "Mauser Parabellum" and underneath that is "9mm Luger". Oval FBM marking. On the right side there is a serial just above the trigger (on frame?) of 11.00.2974. Above that (on receiver?) is the serial as 11.002974, with only one decimal point. Alongside the top serial is the Interarms sun and "INTERARMS" and "ALEXANDRIA.VIRGINIA". "Made in Germany" on back of frame. Toggle has "Original MAUSER" banner marking. American eagle marking on top of chamber. "9mm Luger" marking on top of barrel with a oval FBM marking. On front gripstrap there is the marking "MAUSER-WERKE A.G. Oberndorf a.N." Mauser banner marked magazine.

I don't have the test target, box or anything else. Is this type of pistol called a 29/70?
