The 1997-1998 Mausers retailed over here for about 1300 Euros, haven't seen list prices from Mauser themselves yet. That rather steep asking price for what is basically a refurbed VoPo or Russian capture pistol is probably the reason why they weren't big sellers

I hope to pick up an example next week, although it had some mishaps during it's short refurbished career.

I hope by refurbished you don't mean restored, because that hits a nerve with a LOT of posters.

These pistols pop up on eGun.de now and then. I paid about 700 € for mine, currently in the export pipeline with my agent. If you bide your time, you can get one for under 600 €. I disagree with disparagement of refurbished guns, given the precedent of several well-respected gunmakers turning military surplus into costly commemorative issues.
