Nice picture (I guess...)

Hello Friend,
Today in Belgium the sun is shining therefore I took my camera and I did some pictures
One of them was dedicated to the set hereafter.
I guess it is quite interesting. In this picture are depicted four post WWII Mauser Parabellum that are in some ways related.
In fact, 40 years are in-between these guns.
From the top:
1945/46 LP08 etoile made by under French control.
1985/86 LP08 made by Mauser to Commemorate the LP08
1945/46 P08 etoile made by Mauser under French control.
1985/86 Commercial Mauser P08.

Not only 40 years are separating these Parabellum, in fact both set are the last produced by Mauser in different historical period; in the first case before the French destruction in the second case before stopping the Parabellum production. In addition all these pistols have been done in a really small amount of specimens.

Interesting relationship I guessÃ¢?Â¦

Have fun,
Mauro
