Hi,

Calling the Mauser Parabellum a reproduction is not what I would do.

It is an original Mauser gun, made by the original company, but in the 1970s. The style is based more on the Swiss Model 1929 style than on the P08 style, one of the reasons they were not very popular back then. The other reason was the price. For about $40 you could buy a nice, original pre-1945 luger, while the Mauser Parabellum (the one shown) would cost a staggering $200 those days.

The version shown was made between 1970 and 1973.
