About18-20 years ago, I purchased a NEW P-08 (4" bbl, grip safety, Mauser mfg. from Arms de Chasse in Penna. It's got the original box, target, instruction booklet, loading tool, 2 spare firing pins, 2 spare clips, all original. NO stock mounting paraphernalia (thankx, BATF) and has had only one clip fired through it in all this time. 100% original, high blue, straw and wooden clip grips. Does anyone out there have any sense of its worth, in view of the fact that Mauser (as I understand it) doesn't manufacture handguns any more. I was told at the time of purchase that Mauser made only 500 of different variations and grades for worldwide distribution. I had to wait about a year (after a sizeable, sizeable deposit) to take delivery. Oh, yes, it is NOT engraved, but it's MINT. Please, anyone with a sense of worth for the gun, please e-mail me with a figure, or a place (book) where I can look up the info I need. I MAY be selling it, if the price is right, and if it's as rare as I think it is.
