Mauser Artillery 1945-6 - #855- French assembled at Oberndorf

Don,
I understand the smiley face in the title. When I found the Mauser P08 variant, which had been assembled from parts in the Mauser factory under French occupation, I was more than happy, and the seller, (D&B Militaria in the UK), did not know what they had, once again. The example in my collection is the second type and bears the Austrian Army "BH" stamp, and sadly, the EU deactivation stamp too!
