Nice example of a very rare Mauser variation!

A good friend of mine and Luger expert classifies this gun as a "supernice shooter" with no collectible value since itīs a refurbished unit.
He's wrong

These guns were refinished by a subcontractor of Frankonia in Germany and intended for resale by Mauser itself. Mauser has them pictured in their 1997 and 1998 brochures. It is the final attempt of Mauser to try and do something commercially interesting with the P08 design.

As the 'final attempt' these pistols are collectible.
