Hello Gerben,
and thank you for the information you provide us about Mauser. Unfortunatly Mauser sold all tools and distribution rights to the Sig-Blaser. This is the reply Mauser provide me a few years ago when I was collecting information for my book:

"Dear Mr. Baudino,
Thank you very much for visiting our website.
We regret to inform you that effective January 1st, 1999 Mauser has
transferred all distribution rights of hunting and sporting weapons to

SIG-Blaser Markenvertriebs GmbH
"

If you try to have information about Parabellum production this is the reply you currently obtain:

"Dear Sir,

With reference to your inquiry please be advised that we took over
Mauser only in 1998. As Mauser Oberndorf did not forward any information
regarding older models we regret that we cannot be of help to you.

Best regards,
Mauser Jagdwaffen GmbH

Thorsten Mann"

As you can see Mauser is no longer engaged in the Parabellum issue.
In my understanding the production of Mauser Parabellum and in particular the LP08 commemorative (the last one 1985-86) ended the history of genuine Luger. Genuine means Luger made by firms that were historically engaged in the Luger production, in particular DWM and Mauser.

I hope this helps.

Ciao
Mauro
