I have in my collection what it is considered to be, until now, the last Mauser Parabellum reported.

The Mauser Company in Oberndorf in 1945 - 1946 made a few P08 and LP08 for the French Forces (and also for private sale) that occupied the Württemberg area.

My LP08 serial number is 3334 is the highest number today reported.

Before this Parabellum, that resurfaced in 2008 in France in the Limousin region, the highest serial number was 3330 (a P08) discovered in Paris in 1990.

Quite a long and interesting discussion about the last Mauser production is available in the book Gerben and I wrote: "The Parabellum is Back! 1945 - 2000".

Cheers,
Mauro
