A subset of my Mauser Parabellum collection

In Italy there is a restriction concerning the caliber. The 9 Luger caliber is forbidden, therefore the pistols in this caliber are reworked in 9*21. In my understanding this operation damnage competely the pistol and the collectable value is lost. So only the pistol in .30 Luger are available for the collection. The LP08 you see in the picture is a rare commemorative version made by Mauser in .30 Luger. The Cartridge Counter is in 9 mm, this is way is not in my collection.

Ciao
