Hello Kim,
starting from 1969, the Mauser firm started again the production of the Parabellum pistol. The Mauser production was stopped after WWII, in the 1947. All tools were destroyed but Mr. August Weiss saved all blue prints from the destruction. The Mauser engineers evaluated quite impossible the utilisation of the WWII blue prints for the new production. Mauser firm management decided to buy the tools from the Berna Arsenal in Swiss. According to this, the first Mauser Parabellum produced are very close to the 1929 Swiss Parabellum. This parabellum is called by collectors 29/70 model. Starting from 1973, Mauser started the production of a new models very close to the 06 model. This models are called 06/73 models.

Mauser produced also a small number of Commemorative Models. The aim of these models is the commemoration of particular models, for example the Bulgarian contract, the Russian contract, the American Eagle models, the P08 models, the Navy models, the Arty models, the Carabine models and so on. The production of each commemorative models is limited at 250 exemplars.
The Parabellum production ended in the 1985-86 with the Commemorative Arty production.

These pistols are today quite difficult to find.

I hope these information can help you.

Welcome in the LugerForum.

Ciao
