Dear All,
With Gerben we spent long time in the Mauser Archive (covering the period from 1967-2000) and we have good friends between the engineers and gunsmiths that started the Parabellum production and in particular the Commemorative production.
We meet on regular basis in Oberndorf with Prof. Dr. Gminder, which was the initiator of this new production, and with the fellows from Mauser.
In our book, “The Parabellum is back! 1945 – 2000” you can find the most complete research so far available in this area.

I don’t want to do any advertising to the book but I do believe that if a collector wants to start collecting the Mauser Parabellum pistols, he needs to find a good reference that explains every variation and give figures of the complete production.

The reintroduction of the Parabellum was an engineering challenge and the knowledge of the effort implemented in the production helps in better evaluate the value f these accurate pistols.

I hope this helps…

Cheers,

Mauro
