Mauser Parabellum early production and User Manual

[mauro]

Hello Tom and Gerben,
Thank you so much for the interesting information.
I have prepared here some pictures to better explain the differences between the early production and the â??normalâ?� production.
I am sure that the first 50 pistols sold to Interarms have the configuration of mine 19. These pistols were mainly used for presentation purposes. I have two articles date 1971 were these pistols have been presented. In these articles the differences between these 50 pistols and the usual production is underlined.
The question now is: when Mauser started the production with the definitive configuration. It seems, according to Tom, that the number 67 had not reached the final configuration.
Do you have any idea about this interesting matter?
Ciao
Mauro
