Your pistol was made in July 1974 and received an 'Original Mauser' toggle description.
The first prototype was made in May, 1974 and got the 10.000101 serial, with a toggle with Mauser banner, but without 'Original' text.
The pistols were initially numbered as follows:
I = 10.000101
II = 11.000101 (your pistol)
III = 10.000001
IV = the reference pistol.
The original document describing the production of these pistols is dated on the 2nd of August, 1974.
A progress document dating from the 31st of July, 1974 indicates that the 4 pistols were made as prototypes for possible sales by Renato Gamba in Italy.
