Last July Doug Wonzy made a post that he is looking for this book. I remember he, or someone else, had talked about this book and made me want a copy.

In a letter to NAPCA, dated October 9, 2001 that can be found in the Nov 2001 issue of Automag, Mr Francis Allan mentioned that he might consider republishing it. Here is part of his letter to NAPCA.

" Dear Mr Knox: Some years ago I collected Mauser Parabellum semi-auto pistols and after several years of study published a sixty two-page booklet on this subject. Althou I no longer collect Mauser Parabellums, I do retain the copyright on the booklet. recently I noted one of the one hundred and seventy five copies I had printed for sale on Ebay for over $50 and it sold! I sold them for only $14.95 and can probably have some re-printed and sold for the same price even today"

Mr Allan can be reached at Telephone (306) 445-4225 or email

I am going to write Mr Allan an email requesting that he republish them again. Does anyone have a copy or can comment on this booklet? Thanks! ~Thor~
