Nice find Gerben,
For several reasons, the Mauser Paabellum was far to be a commercial success. Concerning the price, the one foreseen in the beginning of the contractual phase between Mauser and Interarms was really lower than the actual one. The price was, for sure, increased because of the big mistakes made by the Mauser enginneers in the evaluation of the effort necessary to rebuild from scratch the Parabellum pistole.

Have fun.
