Dear All,
Mauser never produced stainless versions but they proposed different types of finishing.
The so called Matte Chromed was available since the first days of production and was the first non-standard finishing. You can see one of the early pistol with this finishing, ivory grips and small parts gold plated.
I attach also a brochure of the period that shows the second type of finishing, the so called Nickel-Finishing. This finishing was available later on and was used for models like the IWA collection.
In the Archive, original Mauser documents are available with the price of the different finishing. Interesting also that the Matte Chromed pistols required more attention in the finishing because the thickness was greater than normal bluing.
For Mauser Parabellum collector I use this opportunity to recall the certification service:
