Mauser bought some jigs, the technical drawings and the quality control gauges.

The jigs were useless, the technical drawings were used in prototyping and then redone. Only the QA gauges saw use, although a number of them had to be altered because of differences in detail design. So although the Mauser Parabellum is unmistakingly based on the Swiss 06/29, it was not made on the same machinery.

I noticed that the pistol has a MecGar magazine with plastic bottom in it.
IIRC they were sold with either the normal Mauser magazines, or the commemorative version with a wood bottom piece.
