I celebrate with Mauro acquisition of this very rare Mauser pistol.

I know that, for Mauro, this represents the other "bookend" of Mauser made handguns. In addition to having the first Mauser designed handgun, Mauro's earlier work was with the "Mauser Parabellum" effort in Oberndorf, representing the last Mauser made handgun.

The C77 posed an interesting problem when we were working on the book since, at that point, we didn't have access to one "in hand" and could only examine one in a nearby museum... Now that has been resolved!
