Mauser manuals

Hi,

It's interesting to see that the manuals accompanying the postwar Mauser Parabellums also underwent some changes. I have some examples of the later P08-style frame manual which contains 3 different languages, German, English and French.

Today I picked up a very early manual, in German, with the early Swiss style gun on the front. Note that even the indents on the receiver front are missing. What is interesting as well is the text 'SAFE' under the safety lever.

Old style:

New style:
