Hello fellows,
In the previous points, we discussed about the Mauser early production and about the serial numbering of the Mauser Parabellum. I am continuing collecting information and documentation about this early production.

I have recently bought a complete set of articles dated 1969 that describes the production of the first models (presentation models, prototypes and early production) as well as the toolings made by Mauser and bought from Berna.

This 1969 photo shows the first two prototypes made by Mauser in 1969 to show to the NSGA and NRA.
The two prototypes are numbered 10.0001 (.30 caliber) and 11.0001 (9 mm.).
The total number of prototypes made by Mauser and numbered 10.000x and 11.000 should be around five.

I will scan the most interesting photos of these old and interesting articles and I will prepare a page on my web site. I will let you know when the page will be available.

Any idea about where these pistols are now?

For the moment look at this nice black & white photo.
Ciao
Mauro
