Hello Dwight,
I am posting again the reply I have post a few days ago concerning the topic "Grips for Interarms Mauser Luger (1970s)":
Hello everybody,
I would like to summarize a few result of my research concerning the end of Mauser activity in 1999. These results with other information are available at page 101 of my book â??The Luger Artilleryâ?.
Please find here the official answer I received from Mauser and Blaser concerning the Parabellum production.
Mail from Mauser:
"Dear Mr. Baudino,
We regret to inform you that effective January 1st, 1999 Mauser has transferred all distribution rights of hunting and sporting weapons to:

Phone +49 7562 7020
Telefax +49 7562 702225

Mail from Blaser:

As far As the spare parts concerns, both Haslberger and Waffen Veh (both German Gunsmiths) bought the remaining parabellum and related spare parts still available in the Mauser facilities located in Oberndolf.
Of course it is possible to find Parabellum spare parts to other sellers, as example the Mauser Official Importer in Italy has still available spare parts.
As far as Mr. Heller concerns I guess he bought Interarms spare parts, in other words the spare parts available in the USA official Mauser Parabellum importer not the Mauser spare parts in Oberndorf.
I hope this can clarify the last activities performed by Mauser before and just after stopping his activities in the hunting and sporting weapons field.
Ciao
