The difference between the "Genuine" Mauser Magazine Sporting Rifles and most of the so-called "Mauser rifles" is that the former are made at the Mauser factory where this system was invented and developed and that they carry with them invaluable guarantee of this firm whereas the latter, as a rule, are converted Mauser rifles composed of parts proceeding from former military rifles or of factory-rejected parts "made-up" anywhere and usually without any guarantee whoatsoever. Looks like "factory Mauser" had to compete with "parts Mauser" (most probably just military surplus, but vendor had to amplify that ) at that time because of all those surplus and parts available on the market after WWI. Probably pistols were in similar situation. |

Well a long time has passed since I started this post. My son-in-law and daughter gave me luger for my Christmas present. They gave $700.00 for it, it looks to be unfired, three magazines and no box. Since I started this post I have been in Iraq and now in Afghanistan!! I got to handle it during Spring Break 2011. Sadly I did not get to the range. My son took a couple of more pictures. Tell me more about this if there is additional info available.

Swiss Pattern Parabellum w/6" barrel. Mfg. by Mauser in the 1970's and imported by Interarms. $700 is a reasonable price. 9mm or .30 cal? It will be a great shooter so please return safely and have some fun with it! A great first Luger.
Thanks for your service! dju |

Nice pistol.
It is a very early Interarms contract version, it still has the extra dot between the serial number digits 11.00.1584. The 11 signifies that it is a 9mm. Production numbering started at 11.00.1001. It would be interesting to see a photo of the Mauser banner on the toggle. |

Price wise, NIB versions in .30Luger or 9mm are selling in the $850 to $1100 range on Gun Broker. I picked up mine in .30Luger for $950 a couple weeks ago and have been having big fun shooting it. I found the grips very awkward and uncomfortable. Hugh Clark, a member of this forum modified them so that they are both attractive and very functional. There's an excellent photo of what they look like here:

Thanks for all the information, I will ask my son to take a couple of pictures of the top plus any markings he sees.
