My First Luger-Pattern Pistol - Interarms Mauser

Congrats,

You have a very rare set. The original pistol is 9mm with the 4" barrel (note the serial number starting with '11'. At a certain point, the owner ordered an extra 6" barrel from the factory, which was numbered 'E14' (E for 'Ersatz' or 'Replacement') and 14 to note that it is a 9mm version.

The boxes are for later pistols, as are the test targets. The serial numbers on the targets and the boxes should match those of the pistols. But they are a nice bonus indeed!

The pistol has been commercially proofed in Germany, and was originally intended for the European market. It was made in 1972.
