Hello Fellows,
I have just received this copy of the 1987 German Waffen Journal. As you can see the cover is focused on two Mauser Parabellum and an Imperial LP08.
On the top the Commemorative LP08 (Erinnerungsmodell Lange Pistole 08), the last commemorative made by Mauser on 1986. In the middle an unusual late production cut-away (Schnittmodell Mauser Parabellum) , probably made as a puzzle of the last parts available in Mauser. In fact the frame could be either from a Navy Commemorative or a Carabine one, the toggle assembly could be either of a Bulgarian or Cartridge Counter commemorative (I guess the second hypothesis).
The third pistol is a 1915 Imperial DWM LP08.

The aim is to present on1987 the last production of Mauser Parabellum commemorative. I guess a really interesting document.

Ciao

Mauro
