Aren't you mixing up a few guns?

The one at auction has factory grips and a factory styrofoam box?

The wooden box was sold as an optional extra.
5" is the Swiss lenght and Mauser hardly used it. Most are, as you observed, 4" and 6".

My apologies, you are right, I'm trying to juggle too much stuff right now, apologies.

The gun I just mentioned selling for $1430 is not the RG in this thread, but a wood boxed P08 style with white grips, really sorry. A link to that closed sale follows this email.

Regarding the 5" (12CM) length on standard production .30 cal pistols I do have 3 and will post photos of them in a new post later. Two are Swiss and one of those has a P08 style safety, the third is a P08 frame last production from 1985 with 1900 style toggle. (Seeking a green hang tag for it!)

Best Wishes, Joe

Looking forward to seeing the 5" versions as they are not that common.

I will post some photos of my 5" pistols under the Postwar section soon.

Regarding the Luger in this thread-RG 0311-it brought $1200.

Also, Simpson just sold RG 0179 for $2195.

Best Wishes, Joe
