Weapons Expert from all over the world meet here

A book on the production of the P 08 Parabellum 1930 until 1946 was handed to Museumleader Andreas Kussmann-Hochhalter (third on the right) by foreign weapons experts.

Oberndorf. A group of Weapons book authors visited the Oberndorf Weapons Museum in the Schwedenbau building and handed the Museumleader Andreas Kussmann-Hochhalter a copy of the recently published English book on the production of the P08 Parabellum between 1930 and 1946, for the town archive.

It was 3 years ago that Rolf Gminder, the former manager of the Mauser company brought the weapons experts to the museum. Since then the group regularly visits Oberndorf. They are all weapons collectors and especially love the old weapons.

Mauro Baudino, from Italy, explained: "We communicate regularly through the Internet with each other and meet once a year in Oberndorf"". Belgian Joop van de Kant and American Don Hallock are the authors of the book on the standard pistol of the Wehrmacht, the production of which almost reached one million pieces. In about 3 months a new book on the P08 with the title "The Parabellum is Back" will appear, in which the post war production between 1945 and 2000 will be discussed. The authors are Baudino and Dutchman Gerben van Vlimmeren. "See you next year", was said during goodbyes.
