Decent Price...

This one is the P08 with 6" 9 mm barrel...

Price is very decent as these P08 usually go for more.

If I could bring this one into CA, I would go for it myself. but the P08 grip strap model is not on the C&R list...and not on the CA-State DOJ "drop test" list.

Pete:

There seems to be quite a lot of confusion regarding just what Mauser Parabellums are covered by the C&R list, particularly by the dealers.

I've considered applying for a comprehensive ruling from the BATE regarding this matter. Would you like to join me in the effort?

Hi Bob,

Sure I will join you.

I tried about 5 years ago and traded letters with the BATF about these 1979-80's guns.

What I could figure out from letters I received from them included :

1. Certain guns that were/are on the C&R list were "petitioned" to be on the List by efforts of some collectors and possibly dealers.

2. The swiss-grip strap models and the commemoratives are on the List because someone made a good case that these guns were historically significant to collectors...versus just some "modern-day" made gun...like the S/S Luger from Aimco out of Texas.

3. The others not on the List were never inquired about/petitioned...
