@Brad,

There is some Mauser flyer information that shows these variations. Mauser tried to do something special for the annual IWA shows, but the prices were accordingly...

A 1990s flyer mentions the IWA 90 version as article number 732116
In 1998 the factory price for that version was around 12,000 DMark.

The pistol was described as follows:
Matte grey finish with silver thistle leaves as barrel engraving, Blossom inlay in platinum, strawed small parts, Ivory grips with silver monogram plate inlay, with leather case.

A number of the pistols were never actually finished when Mauser stopped pistol production. Some unbuilt pistols in their original production boxes are still available.

@Mauro,
Mauro, it's known that the first Mauser 'prototypes' were actually just Swiss model 1929 lugers that were adapted to look like Mausers. It would be interesting to compare the early prototype Mausers to Swiss 1929's see whether they used Swiss parts or guns as a basis for the first demonstration/prototype series.
