Hello,
Back in the 1970's I had an interest in the newly manufactured Mauser luger pistols. I was never happy with the Swiss style frame and later they came out with the P.08 frame. I think I bought this pistol in 1976. It is of course 9mm as indicated by the serial number. The pistol has been put away ever since I bought it and I have never fired it. This may be or is the last luger to be produced that is nearest to the original luger design. I believe already these are and will become more of a collector item. After all it is an "Original Mauser". It says so on the toggle. So I know it's true!
To my knowledge this pistol is not a curio & relic and cannot be bought and sold with an 03 Federal Firearms License. I hope soon it will be classified as a C&R.
In the year 2006 this pistol will be 30 years old. That also means I am 30 years older since I bought it! That is downright scary.
In any event I thought the members would like to see it. The images are not very good since they came off of my scanner.

Help is on the way! I heard that somewhere.
Best Regards,
