Hello Paul,
Mauser started again the production of P08, P38 and some different kinds of carbines when it was managed by the French autorities.
Actually it was not a real production but they assembled new parts that wee still available as stock.
This was done under the control of the French autorities and for the French army.
August Weiss was the responsible of this production.
The P08 and LP08 made in this period where mainly used by the French army and by the Gendarmerie.
The gendarmerie used the P08 until 1970.
Some pictures of the post WWII French models are available on my web site.
Cheers,
Mauro
