HKMan,

The Mauser Parabellum can be found with 2 different frame configurations, the first variation was present on the 29/70 and it copies the lines of the Swiss 06/29 (straight front area). The second variation follows the lines of the DWM 1906 design and was introduced in late 1972.

The grips themselves have seen several modifications as the first grips were too thick for comfort, the result of an attempt to keep the grips from working loose by adding a couple of brass keepers to the inside of the grips. Later these keepers were deleted and replaced by a central 'locking pin' design.
