Hello Mike,
Happy to help you about Mauser Parabellum.
First of all, please have a look at my web site and then click: Mauser Parabellum Gallery. In this section you can have a quite good overview about the Mauser Parabellum.

Second point, you are absolutely lucky, because your pistol is a really early production. You have to know that the serial number of the Mauser Parabellum in 9mm starts from 11.001001. Therefore your pistol is the 266x produced. It means that it has been done in the firsts months of production.

Another evidence of your early production is that the serial number pattern has two dots. This feature appears only in the first production, then Mauser used a pattern like 11.xxxxxx with only one dot.

Another piece of info: the pattern starting with 11. are related to pistol in 9mm, the pattern starting with 10. are related to pistol in .30 luger.

Just let me know if it enought or if you need some other information.

Cheers,
Mauro
