I have a question for runningiron. Actually the commercial production of Mauser Parabellum has the serial number in the range 10.00xxxx for the .30 luger and 11.00xxxx for the caliber 9mm. So, maybe, the serial number of runningiron's Parabellum is not complete.
Concerning the name, the model Swiss like are named 29/70 and the model with grip safety 06/73. The second number (70 and 73) is the year in which that model was made.
The P08 Mauser parabellum is very hard to find. Only 250 commemorative and a few number of commercial in 30 luger and 9mm. To call the model 06/73 as P08 is not correct.
Ciao
