Hi,

The story as the seller mentions in the ad is pretty much correct.
Mauser facilities in Oberndorf were damaged by allied bombing, but damage was relatively small. The Berlin facilities didn't see much damage either.

Part of the buildings in Berlin were destroyed by the company and the Berlin state on order of the French occupation forces in 1948. Most of the facilities in Oberdorf were dismantled and destroyed by the French in 1948 as well.

I have the complete British intelligence report on the inspection of the Mauser Oberndorf plant and the captured train, made in may, 1945.
