Post war Mauser frames made in Italy?

Vlim · 03-10-2020, 08:18 AM

Mauser frames were machined from forgings. By Mauser. Not anywhere else.

The entire Mauser Parabellum production was organized within the Quandt group. All suppliers to Mauser (except for grip blanks) were associated with Mauser. This included IWK, NWM, MFT, Mauser Messzeug.

The frame manufacturing process is very well documented, so there is no doubt at all that Mauser did not use Italian made frames.

Perhaps they made parts for non firing replicas or for Erma lugers.
