Something to clarify about Mauser Parabellum.

Edwyn Hanson · 03-29-2009, 05:56 PM

I have a model 29/70 Mauser Parabellum in .30 luger caliber with serial number 10.002317 and 6 inch barrel. It also has the FBM marking. In 2001 I e-mailed Mauser to ask when this pistol was made. I received a one line reply from Otto Repa which said "The Mauser Parabellum was sold in March 1971 to Interarms." I also have the original box, test target and the spare magazine and cleaning brush. (My wife surprised me with this gun as a Christmas present-she paid $625!) I hope this info helps those of you who are completing a serial number database.

I just realized that I have already posted info about my Mauser Parabellum! Sorry for the repeat episode! (They say that the mind goes first!)

I bought a Mauser/Interarms Swiss Pattern with 6" barrel in the 9mm caliber from FGS Inc.

I heard these new 1970's production Mauser Parabellums had a slightly different grip configuration that the standard Lugers.

Is that true and in what way do they differ from the originals?
