Norm,

You will find that the Postwar Mauser Parabellum shares more features with the Swiss 06/29 than with the older German ones.

Even in the 1970s nobody could afford to build a marketable pre-1945 version of the luger. That is why the new Mauser design was based on the Swiss 1929 model, which was already a more cost effictive version to start with.
